Answer 1

D. It shows that Anne is looking forward to fresh bread.

Why?

When your stomach is growling its because something is wrong with your stomach- typically you're hungry. So being cheerful, nervous and disappointed dont make sense, disappointment especially. So she must be hungry and looking forward to eating.
