Answer: E. wryly mocking

Step-by-step explanation:

The question provides a passage from "Going Out for a Walk," an essay from 1918 by Max Beerbohm, a British writer. The tone of the excerpt is not confessional, philosophical, reproachful, nor objective, because the thesis of the author is ironic and not meant to be taken too seriously. The idea that taking a walk prevents intellectual thoughts seems more like a humorous way to justify the author´s aversion to walking.
