A Correct answer
Explanation

To 'walk on eggs' means to be extremely cautious and careful in one's actions, exactly like someone who must tread carefully to avoid breaking eggs. This matches Suresh's behavior after multiple failures - becoming very cautious. The other idioms are unrelated: crying for the moon means wanting the impossible, at sixes and sevens means being confused/disorganized, going for a song means selling for a low price, and crying over spilt milk means lamenting past losses.
