Solution

The correct option is C His hair was so short that it could not be cut.
Those sentences which have too...to can be changed using so...that to convey the same idea. Past participle tense is used after 'that' clause.
It can be changed as 'His hair was so short that it could not be cut.
Thus, according to the rules, option C is the correct answer.
