His integrity was called into question. I:E may he was not an honest man after all.

C and F are two equal words in meaning

It's easier to read longer sentences like this:
Although (he) the superintendent of public works had a reputation as (was) a man of integrity throughout the department and in the wider community, his __________ was called into question when his brother was accused of corruption.

So, simply put, the sentence is: although he was a man of integrity, his integrity was called into question.

Now, elimination becomes easy. C and F are the only possible choices. Equally important, there are no other pairs! ;)
