C Correct answer
Explanation

Sanctimonious means making a show of being virtuous or morally superior, often hypocritically. Humble is the opposite as it represents genuine modesty without pretense. Smug and Pious are actually similar to sanctimonious, not opposites. Callous means unfeeling, which is unrelated to the concept.
