C Correct answer
Explanation

'Took pity' is the correct idiomatic expression meaning to feel compassion and help someone. 'Pity' as a noun follows 'took' in this fixed expression. 'Sympathy' would need a different preposition (felt sympathy), 'kind' is an adjective, and 'kindness' doesn't fit the idiomatic structure.
