In my opinion, the correct answer is C. "She used to weep if she saw a mouse /caught in a trap, if it were dead..." In other words, the nun is so compassionate and kind-hearted that she couldn't bear the sight of any living being harmed. The other options describe her physical looks, commitment to her job, and assiduousness.

voracity is the noun corresponding to the adjective voracious, which means (1) eager to consume a great amount of food, or (2) marked by an insatiable appetite. veracity is far more common than the rare voracity, so the latter is sometimes used in place of the former.
