(A) whether the evidence warrants censuring him or ousting him [ correct. My answer]

(B) if there is evidence that warrants a censure or an ousting of him [ the elements are not parallel. censure of him is wrong usage. Eliminated!]

(C) whether or not the evidence warrants the censuring or ousting of him [ whether or not usage is generally not preferred in GMAT. Eliminated!]

(D) if there is evidence that warrants censuring him or his ousting[ the elements are not parallel. Eliminated!]
