D Correct answer
Explanation

A stain on something represents damage or disfigurement. Similarly, slander damages integrity. Just as a stain ruins honour/reputation, slander ruins integrity. This is 'damaging agent:virtue it harms'. Lose:fame is 'action:attribute', blot:escutcheon is similar but escutcheon is a specific term, doubt:reputation doesn't show damage.
