Solution

To answer this question, we need to understand the context. The radio broadcast of "The War of the Worlds" by Orson Welles caused a mass panic as listeners believed that an actual alien invasion was taking place.

During the press conference that followed, Orson Welles did not express anger or happiness. He was not upset or overjoyed about the panic that the broadcast had caused.

He also did not express confusion. While the reaction to the broadcast was unexpected, Welles understood why people were panicked and did not seem confused about it.

The most accurate description of his tone during the press conference is "sad and remorseful". He expressed regret that the broadcast had caused such a panic and stated that it was not the intention of him or anyone involved in the production.

So, the answer is B. Sad and remorseful.
