A Correct answer
Explanation

Pensive means deeply or seriously thoughtful, often with a hint of sadness or worry. 'Brooding' captures this perfectly - it means thinking deeply about something that troubles you. The other options are incorrect: thoughtless is the opposite, repentant means feeling regret, meddling means interfering, and occupied just means busy.
