This is normal for most BGP routes and does not indicate a problem. This is typically due to a route being redistributed into BGP.

Here are the origin types from the BGP-4 RFC (EGP is no longer used so it's listed but not important anymore)
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4271

a) ORIGIN (Type Code 1):

            ORIGIN is a well-known mandatory attribute that defines the
            origin of the path information.  The data octet can assume
            the following values:

               Value      Meaning

               0         IGP - Network Layer Reachability Information
                            is interior to the originating AS

               1         EGP - Network Layer Reachability Information
                            learned via the EGP protocol [RFC904]

               2         INCOMPLETE - Network Layer Reachability
                            Information learned by some other means

No, you can not change BGP origin in RouterOS

when Router C receive the route it is not complete and it will not choose as best path, this is the issue

Is this your router?
You can change inbound wight, local preference, or administrative distance for this prefix. Or change another prefix attributes on inbound.
If it is not yours, but i assume this is your prefix, you can prepend it on the other path, or use MED.
If another prefix is not yours, you will have trouble anyway next time :D But you can ask your peer for communities or to change it on his side

If a route is not valid or active, it often means the next hop is unreachable. Check that first.

The factor that BGP origin (incomplete/igp) plays in route selection is so minor that it is unlikely that this is your problem.
