A Correct answer
Explanation

Venial means pardonable or excusable, especially referring to a minor sin or fault that can be forgiven. It comes from religious contexts contrasting venial (minor, forgivable) with mortal (serious) sins. 'Pardonable' is the correct synonym. 'Stink' is a bad smell, 'leek' is a vegetable, and 'freed' means released.
