As the sqoop is trying to parse the whole command using Java, and it will parse with spaces like mentioned below, you can try like below mentioned and it will work fine for you.
Try this,
<workflow-app xmlns="uri:oozie:workflow:0.4" name="oozie-wf">
<start to="sqoop-wf1"/>
<action name="sqoop-wf1">
<sqoop xmlns="uri:oozie:sqoop-action:0.2">
<job-tracker>${jobTracker}</job-tracker>
<name-node>${nameNode}</name-node>
<arg>import</arg>
<arg>--connect</arg>
<arg>jdbc:db2://<host string>:50000/msrc</arg>
<arg>--username</arg>
<arg>hadoop</arg>
<arg>--password</arg>
<arg>bigdata</arg>
<arg>--driver</arg>
<arg>com.ibm.db2.jcc.DB2Driver</arg>
<arg>--query</arg>
<arg>SELECT * FROM STUDENT.SALES WHERE (1=0 OR $CONDITIONS)</arg>
<arg>--target-dir</arg>
<arg>/user/${wf:user()}/${examplesRoot}/apps/sqoop</arg>
<arg>-m</arg>
<arg>1</arg>
</sqoop>
<ok to="end"/>
<error to="kill"/>
</action>
<kill name="kill">
<message>Action failed</message>
</kill>
<end name="end"/>
</workflow-app>

When using the command element, Oozie will split the command on every space into multiple arguments.Passing --arg is fine if you've a simple sql query but if you've a complex query with multiple joins and where conditions passing multiple --arg can be tedious,in which case you should create sqoop jobs and execute them from oozie.
1.configure sqoop-site.xml to use sqoop metastore change following properties
sqoop.metastore.client.autoconnect.url,sqoop.metastore.client.autoconnect.username,sqoop.metastore.client.enable.autoconnect,sqoop.metastore.client.autoconnect.password
https://sqoop.apache.org/docs/1.4.2/SqoopUserGuide.html#_literal_sqoop_metastore_literal
2.Start sqoop metastore
sqoop metastore &
3.Create sqoop jobs
sqoop job --create jobid -- import ...
3.Submit sqoop job in oozie using
job --exec jobid --meta-connect sqoop-metastore-URL
