Answer: D. Disappointment.

Explanation: In the given excerpt from "Great Expectations" by Charles Dickens, we can see a description of a long table with a tablecloth on it and a big object in the middle, which had a lot of cobwebs. Then we found out that the object is a wedding cake, which according to the excerpt's context, symbolizes disappointment, because with the fact that the cake is covered in cobwebs, we can infer that the wedding didn't happen.
