But you may also note that these two options are very close to each other

The meaning of Anguish as referred by the Google Diction.severe mental or physical pain or suffering.

These are the symptoms of Longing for an unattainable thing for a very long period of time

suffer from excessive longing for someone or something unattainable.
This is the correct meaning of the idiom "Eat one's heart out" as referred by Google Diction..
So Brooding fits rather than anguish
Ok you are right because Brooding means appearing darkly menacing
Or provoking a thought that makes a person sad or Melancholic

Yes D is kind of an individualistic option
A can be the correct answer
By feeling or rather appearing to be darkly menacing we can gradually eat the heart out of our fellow peers who are in constant touch with us
Or
While feeling bitter anguish you can eta your heart as well as others along with your's own
