The right answer is:

A: He envied the love they shared, which he would never experience.

Explanation:

The rest of the options mention God and how he relates to Satan, however the right choice focuses on Adam, Eve and Satan, as God is never mentioned in the excerpt.

Hi!

The answer to your question would be option A. He envied the love they shared, which he would never experience.

Explanation:

We can infer A is the correct answer by cues on the text. For instance, the first two lines of the passage have a negative connotation and show Satan upset and envying how Adam and Eve are in each other's arms. This clearly alludes to him envying the love they share which he'll never be able to experience.

Moreover, the remaining options talk about God when God himself is not present on this passage. Therefore, option A is the answer.
