    Personally, I'd go with D. heartlessness.

    It's not A, fitness, because we don't know if Mr. Gray was fit - we only know he was tall and slender; B is also wrong because the text says nothing about him being spiteful; C is wrong for the same reason. Thus, this leaves us with D, because the text says he is 'unsentimental,' which means the same as heartless.
