The correct answer is C) He helped a student do better on the examination than other students who were smarter and worked harder.
The clergyman felt guilty because he believed that by assisting one student, he was unfairly giving them an advantage over others who had put in more effort and deserved to succeed based on their own merits. This sense of injustice and favoritism likely caused his conscience to “torture” him. If you have more questions or need further clarification, feel free to ask!
