The correct answer is "He is described as brave and noble".
Not only in this excerpt, but all throughout the narration of "The Canterbury Tales", the depiction of the Knight is highly positive. Multiple mentions of his military achievements, loyalty, kidness and politeness are displayed in the story. The Knight is also complementary presented as a humble man who in spite of his reputation, never calls attention to himself nor does he speak badly of anyone arround him.
Hope this helps!
