Which excerpt from “The Prologue” of The Canterbury Tales best indicates that the knight is a humble person?

a) “Just home from service, he had joined our ranks/ To do his pilgrimage...”
b) “He never yet a boorish thing had said/ In all his life to any...”
c) “Under assault, he had been there, and in/ North Africa...”
d) “For him against another heathen Turk;/ He was of sovereign value...”

I think it’s b

B. When it starts by saying "He never yet said a boorish thing" it is saying that he never said anything mean, he was never a mean, or ill spirited person, he didn't use his knightlyhood as a way to have power over anyone
