In the Parable of the Unjust Steward (Luke 16:1-13), what is the most accurate interpretation of the steward's 'shrewd' actions in reducing the debts of his master's debtors?

A He was commended for his dishonesty, showing that deceit is acceptable in dire situations. B He was using his position to gain favor and security for his future after being dismissed. C He was forgiven by his master because he was trying to alleviate the suffering of the poor. D He was acting in accordance with Jewish law, which allowed for debt forgiveness under certain circumstances.
