The right answer is "A. The clergy "

You should be referring to the quote from "The Canterbury Tales" where the word gold is used to represent the clergy in all its purity that leaves it in such a high standard that nothing can reach it, just as gold can not be attained by rust.

Answer:

A). The clergy.

Explanation:

As per the context of the word 'gold', the parson is most likely representing 'the clergy'. <u>The metal gold is representing the purity, virtue, and righteous conduct of the clergy</u> in the famous work of Geoffrey Chaucer titled 'The Canterbury Tales'. <u>Gold signifies a supreme standard, passion, and wisdom that is equivalent to the righteousness and intellect possessed by a clergy.</u> Therefore, <u>option A</u> is the correct answer.
