By finding that the World Bank does not have empirical problems sufficient to delay the trial, the prosecution argued that the court had no valid grounds to be in sympathy with the World Bank’s request for dismissal.

(A) to be in sympathy with
(B) to sympathize with
(C) for sympathizing with
(D) that it should sympathize with
(E) that it should have sympathy for

"grounds for" is the correct idiom ..So Option C is the answer
