Dear Student,

We fixed the ambiguity of this question. According to this required answer is option (B).

Different uses of disappointed-

"Disappointed with" implies that the cause of the disappointment was something basic about the nature or attributes of the thing:some times it is used for people if you're expressing a general disappointment about their qualifications/abilities/etc,


Ex - I was disappointed with my new toaster. It really didn't toast the bread as well as I hoped.

"Disappointed in" usually indicates a deeper level of disappointment with the nature of somebody or something, or repeated problems with them, and often indicates that the speaker has lost faith in someone's ability to do what's expected of them:

Ex- I'm disappointed in the government. They just can't seem to get anything done!

disappointed (at/by something)
Ex-They were bitterly disappointed at the result of the game.
Ex- I was disappointed by the quality of the wine.
