Explanation:

To determine the meaning of "amiable" in the sentence, we analyze the context. The sentence suggests that marrying a more amiable woman could have made him more respectable and even amiable himself. "Conscientious" refers to being diligent, "intellectual" to being intelligent, and "strong - willed" to being determined. "Good - natured" means having a pleasant, friendly, and kind nature, which fits the context of a positive trait related to personality that could influence someone's respectability and their own personality.

Answer:

B. good - natured
