C - The pastor was a well respected member of his community.

Explanation:

A hyphen is a punctuation mark that is used in order to join two different words to make one word or join two syllables of the same word.

In the above question, all the options are incorrectly formulated without the use of the hyphen except option C, where the two words have the meaning of their own and can be used separately as well.
