Answer 1

D. "Once dead what matter how their souls may fare?"

Step-by-step explanation:

In The Canterbury Tales, we meet the pardoner. The pardoner is a preacher who scams people. He does not actually care about the people's concerns. Instead, he wants to profit from their beliefs by selling them fake relics. Moreover, he is not interested in their spiritual guidance, as his speeches are always the same. This phrase summarizes this attitude as it shows that the pardoner does not care about the souls of the people.
