C is best because in this case, the GMAT prefers the infinitive form to the participle form. Usually the phrase "imperative FOR" is followed by a noun.

"It is imperative FOR the success of the company that this merger be successful."

Following "imperative FOR" with a participle verb is awkward.

"It is imperative FOR succeeding..." = Not Good :-(

Generally, unless the participle is introducing a new clause, the GMAT prefers the infinitive.

If for no other reason, notice that "to bring" is slightly shorter (and thus more concise) than "for bringing."
