The stochastic bounds from part (b) hold uniformly in every box. Passing to the increasing limit for the local increasing event $A$ gives
$$
\mathbb P_{p/(2-p)}^{\mathrm{bond}}(A)
\leq\lim_{N\to\infty}P_N(A)
\leq\mathbb P_p^{\mathrm{bond}}(A).
$$
Thus the infinite-volume free random-cluster measure lies stochastically between Bernoulli bond percolation at parameters $p/(2-p)$ and $p$.
