E Correct answer
Explanation

Brood means to think deeply, worry, or dwell on something at length, especially something depressing. When someone is depressed, they tend to brood - think obsessively about their troubles. Blunder (clumsy move), brag (boast), bother (worry), and buy (purchase) don't fit this emotional context.
