We searched __________ happiness in vain.
Answer: C
The answer is for: We searched for happiness in vain.
Search for means to try to find something you are looking for, here happiness. In vain means without success.
Without a preposition, search takes the place being examined as its object (they searched the house), which does not fit happiness. Search into is not standard; the idea of investigating is expressed by inquire into or look into. After goes with verbs such as seek after or hanker after, not with search, and in would mean looking inside happiness for something else.
