Dr. Jekyll is in distress and believes that he is at Dr Lanyon's mercy for help.
Explanation:
<u>We see from his letter that Dr. Jekyll is very distress. He uses a phrase like "I am lost" and says his whole life and honor depend on Lanyon, words that very clearly paint the picture of the agony and worry. </u>
<u>We see that he thinks all his life depends on Lanyon's mercy and his help, even though there is a hint the request might be dishonorable for some. </u>
The other options for answering are wrong because
we don't see if Jekyll and Lanyon are as close as before
we still don't know if Lanyon will help Jekyll or not, therefore, Jekyll is not upset because of that
