Solution
The correct option is C larger Option A - 'Large' can't be used as it is not the comparative degree of the adjective. Thus option A is incorrect.
Option B - 'More large' is grammatically incorrect, as 'larger' is the comparative form of the adjective 'large', when we have a comparative form, we shouldn't use 'more'. Thus option B is incorrect.
Option D - 'The largest' is the superlative form of the adjective. As the sentence has 'than', it indicates that the sentence requires a comparative adjective form and not a superlative form. Thus option D is incorrect.
Option C - 'Larger' is a comparative form of the adjective which can be used to compare the bag in the sentence with the suitcase. Thus option C is the correct answer.
