All options with the pronoun "its" are incorrect since its can refer to either the bank or the federal district Court. So B, C, D are out. Option E uses infinitive "To failing" which is never correct, so it leaves us with option A.

The correct idiom is : Plead guilty TO <some crime/accusation>
Thus, the bank pleaded guilty in a federal district court TO <some failure>
We can eliminate A, B and C.
'Its' does not have a clear antecedent (the bank or the court). However, between the constructions
D. The bank pleaded guilty in a federal district court TO its failure in reporting...
E. The bank pleaded guilty in a federal district court TO failing to report...
I still see "failure in reporting" is better than "failing to report" . (fail to report would have been the best).
Eliminating D just for a pronoun ambiguity is not considered a good way in GMAT. This is true even if the pronoun ambiguity comes from subject and the noun of a prepositional phrase (bank pleaded guilty in a federal district court)
I stand for D.
