D. uncharitable.

The suffix -able, borrowed from Old French and originally from the Latin -ābilis (meaning "worthy of being acted upon"), can have different meanings.

The most common one is "fit/liable to be (done)," as in:

likeable - fit to be liked
washable - fit to be washed
degradable - liable to be degraded.

This, however, does not apply to comfortable. Another meaning of -able, however, is "giving, or inclined to," as in:

comfortable - giving comfort
(un)charitable - (not) inclined to charity.
