Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. how badly.

- However, in this context, the adverb "badly" should be used instead of the adjective "bad" because it describes the manner or intensity of the action "wanted".
Therefore, the correct sentence is:
"He knows how badly I wanted a baby."
