The series $\sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{1}{n(\ln n)^c}$ is a form of the well-known p-series $\sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{1}{n^p}$, where $p=c-1$ and $p>0$. We know that the p-series converges if $p>1$ and diverges if $p\leq 1$. Thus, we have $c-1>1$, or $c>2$. Therefore, the values of $c$ such that the series converges must lie in the interval $(2,\infty)$, which is option (C).
