Concept: Jealousy is frequently considered a negative trait or character in a person when he or she shows invidious resentment toward someone differently’s well-being or substance.
It also indicates one's egoism and the utmost desire for someone differently’s parcels.
Envious refers to the feeling of envy or jealousy toward other people.
‘ Unhappy ’ is the antipode or contrary of happy. As it holds no unequivocal relation with jealousy, option B can be marked off.
‘ Regretful ’ in option C is used to express remorse or anguish over an action so it is incorrect.
Option D is wrong as ‘ guilt ’ means deep remorse or guilt in someone after committing a grave mistake or crime.
Hence, option A is the correct answer.
