B: the desire to prove to others that you’re right can lead to extreme actions.

In the story, the lawyer and the banker get into an argument about whether or not life imprisonment would be more humane than capital punishment. The banker challenges the lawyer to a bet stating that the lawyer must remain in isolation for 15 years. To prove that he is right, the lawyer takes the bet. The desire to prove himself correct leads the lawyer to take the extreme action of giving up everything and living a life locked up in solitude.

NNADVOKAT [17]

The answer would be letter D: A sense of accomplishment mixed with a feeling of regret.

While growing up people live their life based on different decisions made through it. People take risks and drove their life the way they want but at the same time there are lots of risks people don't take. That is a resume of how life goes. Based on this, in the older years people start to realize all they accomplished through life, where they are standing and how much effort that took, but at the same time, with all of these accomplishment older people tend to think "What if", based in all the decisions or risks they never took. This brings in them a mixed sense of regret of things they never did and accomplishment of those they did.
