Please look for -->not for ...but for ...
so my take would be B
btw, 'it' refers to 'The Supreme Court' not 'The Supreme Court's concern'

This one is easy. Just look out for Parallels and then eliminate. In fact this one is directly testing parallism and has only one option that meets the requirement
You need to be aware of structures that require parallism. Some of them are
Not only X but also Y
Either X or Y.
distinguish between X and Y.
In such cases the X and Y have to be parallel
U could refer to the Manhattan SC book for more such structure which require parallelism. Learning the same will help you in your prep

sorry for being a Late Kate !!
IMO B
as to achieve parallelism, the format of the sentence should be
Not for X but for Y
X = the sake of the court
Y = the sake of the nation
... to which it is responsible ( noun = court, pronoun = it as nation is 'too close'? )
