Solution

The sentence is in past tense, so ‘looking’ in A must be replaced with ‘looked’.
In C adjective form of ‘sorrow’ must be used. Hence, ‘sorrowful’ must replace ‘sorrow’ for C to be correct.
‘Misfortunately’ in D must be replaced with ‘misfortunate’ in D.
Hence, option B is the correct answer.
