    Solution

    "Success" is a noun and does not fit in the context as it would make the sentence grammatically incorrect. The verb "succeed" is required here to indicate the action of achieving success. so, the phrase "to success" is incorrect. It should be "to succeed" to maintain grammatical correctness.
