(A) on the basis of avoidance of expanded executive power alone
Unclear meaning. unnecessary use of "on the basis of avoidance of ". Eliminate this option.
(B) on the grounds of avoiding expanded executive power alone.
Unclear meaning. Incorrect use of "on the grounds".
(C) solely in that, the expansion of executive power should be avoided
Correctly places "solely in that" in double comma. Which is not necessary in getting the intended meaning of the sentence. "solely in that" also tells us the reason why Accepting the proposed constitutional amendment would be a poor decision for the Supreme Court. Lets keep this option.
(D) if only because the expansion of executive power should be avoided
"if only because" is redundant. Eliminate this option.
(E) while the expansion of executive power should be avoided
"while" is used to indicate two things taking place simultaneously. Since we in this sentence we don't have two things taking place simultaneously. Use of "while" is incorrect. We can eliminate this option.
The correct answer is C.

A) wordy
b) c is more appropriate
C) correct choice
(D) if only because the expansion of executive power should be avoided
Option (D) introduces the phrase "if only because," which implies that there may be other reasons for the poor decision besides the avoidance of expanded executive power. However, the original sentence clearly states that the decision is based solely on this reason, making option (D) less precise.
(E) while the expansion of executive power should be avoided
Option (E) introduces the word "while," which suggests a contrast or simultaneous occurrence of events. This creates confusion in the context of the sentence, as the intention is to state the specific reason for the poor decision rather than introducing a contrast with another event.
