Solution

The correct option is D A futile pursuit
'A wild-goose chase' means a search that is completely unsuccessful and a waste of time because the person or thing being searched for does not exist or is somewhere else. E.g. After two hours spent wandering in the snow, I realized we were on a wild goose chase. 'Futile pursuit' means something which is useless in doing as there is no point of succeeding in that.
Thus, option D is the correct answer.
