The ground for a court to set aside the award in arbitration is when the arbitrator arbitrates issues that the parties did not agree to submit to arbitration. This is because the parties have the right to decide which issues they want to submit to arbitration and if the arbitrator goes beyond that agreement, the court can set aside the award. Therefore, option D is the correct answer.
