Personal definitions
Arrogance-- the protagonist saying he's the best in the world
Outrage -- OMG he did what?!
Melancholy-- I feel sad
foreboding -- small action hinting at a possible future event
I like answer D, the passage is a bit suspenseful, low clicking noise that only the protagonist can here, that is gradually getting louder. Feels like this small action is leading to something bigger.
