I believe option C should be our answer.
(A) We have a missing of in this sentence. The correct version should be "this can be indicative of his defense"
(B) Although grammatically correct, this sentence conveys an illogical meaning. "To hold a virtue is to indicate a defense" means that somehow the individual is holding the virtue in order to definitely and intentionally indicate that he is holding a defense against opposing qualities. Holding a defense against opposing qualities can be one of the possibilities and an inference drawn by people but is not certainly not a definite and an intentional indication by the individual.
(C) Perfect! Clears up all the errors that exist in B and presents a very clean and accommodating option.
(D) "Individual can holds" is grammatically incorrect. The correct version should be "individual can hold".
(E) Same error as in B.
