A Correct answer
Explanation

Edify means to instruct or improve someone morally or intellectually. "Instruct morally" best captures the character-building aspect. "Statue" and "Large building" are from the same Latin root (aedificare) but are the noun form, not the verb. "Stagnate" is the opposite of growth, and "Eatable" is unrelated.
