B
Parole means “spoken word,” which connects to how important a person's word was changing one's criminal behavior

Explanation

“Parole” comes from the French word for “word” or “promise.” In corrections, parole involves a person released from prison agreeing to follow specified conditions, so the person’s promise to comply is central. Therefore, the choice connecting parole to the spoken word and changing criminal behavior is correct.
