in normal condition I believe B is correct, but the trick here is that the sentence uses the word ARGUE and the correct idiom for this is ARGUE FOR. For that reason the answer is C.

I find Choice C extremly awkward and confusing. Correct me if I'm wrong but the structure here presupposes the following logic:
Sowell argues (what does he argue?) that American conservatives have no valid ideological grounds (what grounds do they not have?) to sympathize with the Pretoria regime. Thus B is the answer.

I still feel B is correct.
What's the OA?
