I would say the correct answer is D. sentiment; resent.
Root is the smallest part of a word that still has some meaning. In the case of sentiment and resent, the root is 'sent' which is Latin for 'feeling.' Sentiment means feeling, and resent is the feeling of bitterness, so you can see that those two words are semantically similar.
