The word 'uncomfortable' means 'causing or feeling slight pain or physical discomfort' and does not fit here as the sentence conveys the meaning that she wanted help regarding the use of technology so it is clear that she did not know it. Thus it is not apt here.$

Stressed=> emphasized$

Unfamiliar=> not having knowledge or experience of$

Trepid=> fearful or apprehensive, especially trembling from fear$

Thus option B is the correct answer. The other words do not fit here.$

Correct sentence:$

She was unfamiliar with the new technology so wanted some help regarding its use.
