According to a different source, these are the options that come with this question:

A.He feels inadequate for the task.

B.He is eager to condemn Hester for her crime.

C.He is fearful of Hester’s response.

D.He desires to help Hester confess her sin.

In this text, we learn that Reverend Mr. Dimmesdale is introduced to the crowd as an expert on the matter at hand. He is being asked by Mr. Wilson and the Governor to speak about matters of the heart, and in particular, those of women. We learn that this task is of a "trying nature," which implies that Mr. Dimmesdale finds it really difficult. Moreover, we also learn that this situation leads him to lose colour on his cheeks and make his lips tremulous. These are all signs of nervousness, so we can assume that Mr. Dimmesdale feels that he is inadequate to the task.
