Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. feels.

Let's have a look at the meaning of the given options:-

  1. feels- used to say how something seems to you when you touch, see, smell, experience, etc. it.
  2. offers- to ask if somebody would like something or to give somebody the chance to have something.
  3. thinks- to have a particular idea or opinion about something/somebody; to believe.
  4. owes- to have to pay money to somebody for something that he/she has done or given.

"Feels" which means "used to say how something seems to you when you touch, see, smell, experience, etc. it" fits the context appropriately.

Hence, the chosen option will be correct.
