The answer is D: sentiment; resent

Sentiment means a thought, idea, or opinion based on a feeling about a situation, or a way of thinking about something. Resent means to feel angry or upset about a situation because of something thought as not being fair. Both words have the same root from the Latin: sentire.

Sentiment - physical feeling, sensation

Resent - re (intensive force) + sentir "feel"
