The answer is option C: "My life would be least missed, if we let out the truth."

In the quote from "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight," Gawain expresses his loyalty and honor to King Arthur, who is also his uncle. Since he embodies the religious, moral and social principles of chivalry, he accepts the challenge offered by the Green Knight in order to keep Arthur and Camelot safe.
