IMO C
The correct idiom in this sentence would be "except in", as we are talking about a situation, e.g. We are not permitted to make phone calls except in an emergency.
In cases when we refer to things or people (I donno the complete set
), we use "except for", e.g. Everyone went except for Dan and Scott.
So, A, D and E are out for using "except for".
B is out for not maintaining contrast.
