The correct answer is C. Greedy
Explanation:
The excerpt presented includes the words of a male character called Herbert who firs states "Well, don't break into the money before I come back" to warn another character as he believes this money can make him "avaricious man, and we shall have to disown you", this implies the word "avaricious" in this case is related to money and the desire of having more money and therefore, the meaning of avaricious in this sentence is "greedy" as this describes an excessive desire for wealth which is the meaning intended by using the word "avaricious".
