"who is actually quite honest" will be parallel to
"who is not inclined to rob" and also to
"not inclined to rob" [it is parallel to "quite honest"]

B is shorter hence the answer.
Rest all breaks the rule of parallelism.

B is correct


D is incorrect as it uses ''who'' twice- the 2nd ''who'' is unnecessary.

I will go with "D"
as it says who ... and who...., there by keeping the rule of parallelism.
