【单选题】Chaucer is renowned for his usage of satire. Which of the following excerpts from The Canterbury Tales might be an example of satire?

Boots of soft leather, horse in perfect trim: No question but he was a fine prelate! Not pale and wan like some tormented spirit. A fat roast swan was what he loved the best. His saddle-horse was brown as any berry. (ll. 203-7, description of the Monk in “the General Prologue”, translated by David Wright)
B.
As soon as April pierces to the root The drought of March, and bathes each bud and shoot Through every vein of sap with gentle showers From whose engendering liquor spring the flowers. (ll. 1-4, the introduction in “the General Prologue”, translated by Theodore Morrison)
C.
A knight was with us, and an excellent man, Who from the earliest moment he began To follow his career loved chivalry. Truth, openhandedness, and courtesy. (ll. 41-4, description of the Knight in “the General Prologue”, translated by Theodore Morrison)
