Explanation:

Direct characterization is when you are told directly the qualities of a person, while with indirect you would need to interpret and infer their traits/qualities from their actions. The first sentence tells you he was an honest worker and a good and true person. The second one tells you he was holy and virtuous. The last one says he is high colored, benign and sanguine. C. doesn't tell you any certain trait about the person being talked about.
