Btells

Cto tell

Dtelling

Answer:

D. telling

Read Explanation:

  • Most commonly we use "regret + ing" form of the verb. 
  • Regret + to + infinitive is used when making announcement of bad news
    • For example, We regret to inform you that your job application has not been successful (നിങ്ങളുടെ ജോലി അപേക്ഷ ശെരിയായിട്ടില്ലെന്നു നിങ്ങളെ അറിയിക്കുന്നതിൽ ഞങ്ങൾ ഖേദിക്കുന്നു). 
  • The verb "regret" can be followed by a gerund (-ing form of the verb) when expressing sorrow or remorse about an action that has already happened or is ongoing (ഇതിനകം സംഭവിച്ചതോ നടന്നുകൊണ്ടിരിക്കുന്നതോ ആയ ഒരു പ്രവർത്തനത്തെക്കുറിച്ച്).
  • The structure "I regret telling you" indicates that the speaker feels sorry about having conveyed some unfortunate news. (ഞാൻ നിങ്ങളോട് പറയുന്നതിൽ ഖേദിക്കുന്നു...)
