C Correct answer
Explanation

The meaning implied in sentence (1) of term 'corrupt' is to cause to become dishonest. The meaning implied in sentence (2) is 'immorality especially sexually'. In sentence (4), the usage of term 'corrupt' denotes a formal word for decay. In sentence (3), we have a problem. 'Language corruption' expression doesn't seem that correct or valid instead it should have been 'French don't approve of their language being corrupted'. Therefore, option (3) is the answer.
