I pick D, but C is a close second. A, B and E are out because the linking statement should contain info about both instances (when one should feel pity or gratitude).
I chose D over C because the "unreasonable"-ness of anger is already discussed in the opening sentence.
What's the source of these wacky questions?

IMO C
Here is my analysis:
results
insult ---------> Anger
insult = assertion of bad character
if assertion = false
==> pity/ignorance
if assertion = true
==> grateful/useful info
so either one should be pitiful or grateful for insult...
Hence C
Hope my analysis is correct
