The correct answer is C) cruel.

The word that best describes the character traits of the plebeian mob is "cruel."

We are referring to an excerpt of act 3 of "The Tragedy of Julius Caesar." In the excerpt, the poet Cinna is talking to the plebians. And the character they are showing is cruel. For instance, the first plebian says "Tear him to pieces." The Forth Plebeian assures "Tear him for his bad verses."
