    return string

This is not a code conversion service: we are not here to translate code for you.
Even if we did, what you would end up with would not be "good code" in the target language – they are based on very different frameworks, and what makes something work in one language does not always "translate" directly into another.
So what you end up with is very poor code, that is difficult if not impossible to maintain, that can’t be upgraded nicely, and that will cause you immense headaches if the original is changed. And it’ll be a nightmare to debug if it doesn’t work "straight out of the box".
Instead, use the source code as a specification for a new app written in and for the target language / framework and write it from scratch using the original as a "template". You will get a much, much better result that will save you a lot of time in the long run.

You need to learn C from some tutorial like Learn C.

you need to understand some differences to Python:
- C is a different language, so you have other keywords, like if and else
- C has parenthis rules form curly braces and non-curly braces
- C has no classes, so you need to recode the string handling complete

Something like the following code should do the trick, provided you complete it (just plan 'A' is covered') and make it robust.

C

#include<stdio.h>

int get_description(const char type_plan[], const char ** description, const char ** claim_limit )
{
  int result = 0; // 0 is 'success' , non-zero is 'failure' 

  switch (type_plan[0])
  {
  case 'A':
    *description = "Room Charges 150/day\nIntensive Care Unit (ICU) Charges 300/day\nHospital Supplies and Services : As charged. Subject to approval by EZMediLife. Surgical Fees\n";
    switch(type_plan[1])
    {
    case '1':
      *claim_limit = "Annual Claim Limit 100.000\n";
      break;

    case '2':
      *claim_limit = "Lifetime Claim Limit 500000\n";
      break;

    default:
      result = -1;
      break;
    }

    break;
  case 'B':
    //...

  case 'C':
    //...

  default:
    result = -1;
    break;
  }

 return result;

}


int main()
{
  const char * plane[]  = { "A1", "K3", "A2" }; -- test planes

  for ( size_t n=0; n<sizeof(plane) / sizeof(plane[0]); ++n)
  {
    const char * description, * claim_limit;
    if ( get_description( plane[n], &description, &claim_limit) == 0)
    {
      printf("plane %s: %s%s", plane[n], claim_limit, description);
    }
    else
    {
      printf("unknown plane %s\n", plane[n]);
    }
    printf("\n");
  }
  return 0;
}
