    A. Hopeful
    Explanation
    Mr. Knightley feels hopeful when he learns that Emma does not love Frank Churchill because he has strong feelings for Emma himself.

    Explanation
    Emma does not believe that Robert Martin is a bad, stupid man at the end of the book. In fact, her opinion of him changes throughout the story.

This realization suggests that Emma's emotions are tied to Mr. Knightley, leading to her upset reaction upon discovering Harriet's intentions.
