In the context of the quote "And here a heart richer than gold," Cassius is expressing the idea that his heart is full of love, loyalty, and honor, which are more valuable than any material wealth. Therefore, the most fitting response is:

I am a very loyal and honorable man.

This interpretation aligns with the themes of loyalty and integrity in the play, particularly in the relationships among the conspirators and their motivations.
