Answer C states "a coupling of moral ideals with self-interest". What part in the argument refers to self-interest?

Nasty question!!
I think the "moral ideals" refers to the "basic human right" segment. It seems like the self-interest is the self-interest of the government, having to do with the "good ideas flourishing, and the silly and dangerous ideas being dismissed or responded to," rather than the personal self-interest of the analyst himself.
Note that A, D, and E are obviously wrong, and B is unacceptable because it's not "for its own sake." If this were true, it would be sufficient to say that free speech is a "human right." By going further, and discussing the reasons why it's "rational" for the government (the piece about ideas), the author introduces another element beyond "for its own sake."
