The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

(A) conscious: means being awake or aware. This does not fit the context.
(B) consensus: means general agreement among a group, which is unrelated to the speaker’s moral restraint.
(C) conscience: means the inner moral sense of right and wrong, which clearly matches the sentence.
(D) consent: means permission or approval, but the sentence refers to moral principles, not permission.
\[ \boxed{\text{Correct word: conscience}} \]
