c.

A. He's kind, charitable, and accepting.

Unlike other characters Valjean encounters, the bishop acts kindly toward Valjean (even though he is aware of the fact that Valjean stole his silverware). The bishop's kindness turns Valjean into a repentant moral man (nevertheless on the wrong side of the law as a convicted felon).
