I think the answer would be C. an angry state of mind
The points A, B, and D are different definitions from those of "a feeling or state of mind." That being said, they would not be alternate defintions. Also, "an upset or angry state of mind," comes with the primary definition, meaning C. would be an alternate definition.
You would never know what the setting is,if the characters are not known and if the settings are unknown the story would have to turn to the theme or the plot. when the charaters are unknown the effect is losing place in the story. It might be confusing but if it help letme know!!
