Correct Answer: Clemency


Solution : The third option is the correct choice.

Mercy generally refers to a compassionate disposition or the act of sparing someone from harm or punishment. On the other hand, clemency specifically denotes a lenient or merciful attitude, often applied in legal or authoritative settings, such as granting a pardon.

The meanings of other options are as follows:

  • A legacy is something handed down or received from predecessors.

  • Clarity is the quality of being clear, transparent, or easily understandable.

  • Plurality is the state of being numerous or having multiple components.

Therefore, the correct answer is clemency.
