In Condition 1 select the option Formula and write the right box the formula:

Press the button and select Format format in which you want to take the entire row to highlight (eg yellow frame and numbers in bold) and click OK :


Objective achieved! When you select a year in cell C2 entire row of the table for that year will be formatted as you have indicated:
