Some synonyms of the word superfluous include: nonessentional, unneeded, unused, etc.
So, in this question I believe the best definition of the world superfluous would be C. Unneeded.
Hope this helped!
C. to gather some wood, would be oh so good, but I'm not in the mood
Personal I would say desperate. The reason I would say that is because Excited is 100% not what he was feeling. And stubborn? That wouldn’t make any sense he would be angry and insisting not to wear what Mary gave him. And the definition of jovial is somewhat similar to the meaning of excited. However desperate is the best choice out of all of them.
