The options for this question are:

A) having good judgment

B) Honorable

C) Sorrowful

D) having a damaged reputation

Answer: D) having a damaged reputation.

Explanation: context clues are hints that the writer gives to help the readers understand a word or a phrase in a sentence or paragraph. In the given sentence we can know that the meaning of the word "discredited" is "having a damaged reputation" because the writer gives us the context clues "lying" and "humiliation." So we can infer that after being caught lying, the witness's reputation was damaged.
