    Judging from context, the only possible answer is letter D. "Nervously" to replace "anxiously" in the above sentence.

    To look around intently (option A) would entail Jim gave one thing all of his undivided attention; to look around irritably (option B) would suggest Amanda felt irritated about his behaviour; and to look around fearfully (option C) would take a premise such as "I could tell Jim was scared ... " in order to make sense through context.

    Therefore the only possible answer is letter D.
