  1. a.Honesty of purpose
  2. b.Test
  3. c.Flatter

'Call in question' means to doubt or challenge something. So the sentence means no one dares to challenge or cast doubt on his honesty. It is similar to 'calling into question.' 'Flatter' means the opposite; 'test' and 'honesty of purpose' don't capture the meaning.
