Correct Answer: C
Choice C is the best answer. The passage describes presenting someone as "flawless hero" while ignoring controversies. "Flattering" means complimentary to an excessive degree, fitting this uncritical praise.
Choice A is incorrect because "critical" contradicts flawless portrayal. Choice B is incorrect because "balanced" contradicts ignoring controversies. Choice D is incorrect because "brief" refers to length, not tone.
