C Correct answer
Explanation

The correct answer is 'pardonable' which is the meaning of 'venial.' A venial sin or fault is one that is minor and can be pardoned or forgiven, as opposed to a mortal sin. The other options are incorrect: good-natured and humble refer to personality traits, while susceptible to bribery describes corruption rather than pardonable offenses.
