Answer:
D) Compassionate.
Explanation:
Geoffrey Chaucer's "The Canterbury Tales" is a collection of stories told by a group of pilgrims on their way to Canterbury. The tales are listed as a form of passing the time during their journey to Canterbury.
The Prioress or Madame Eglantine is one of the central characters in the Tale. She is satirically depicted as someone who's supposed to be humble and lead a simple life but then, dressed lavishly and uncharacteristic of a nun. But at the same time, she is also depicted as charitable and compassionate.
Thus, the correct answer is option D.
