The correct answer is D. Worried

Explanation:

In literature, it is common characters change as the story develops; this includes physical changes but also changes in the personality and emotions of the character.

In the case of Mr. Utterson in the first excerpt, it is shown Mr. Utterson is a relaxed man as he likes spending time with friends "the two men put the greatest store by these excursions". However, in the second excerpt this attitude changes as Mr. Utterson is thoughtful and worried "Mr. Utterson again walked some way in silence and obviously under a weight of consideration". This feeling continues growing in the third excerpt "Mr. Utterson came home to his bachelor house in somber spirits". Thus, as the character develops he becomes more worried.
