Well, it says that the man decided to celebrate by eating his lunch there. Just based on the info in the passage, if you're celebrating, you clearly don't feel a negative emotion. He's not sad, depressed or angry, because he's celebrating.

The only positive feeling here is D, optimism. 
I hope this helps ^^

In the story ‘To Build a Fire’, the man is hiking 'four miles' in an hour. He thinks that he would reach the forks in a given time. This shows that the man is optimistic.

The points that support the statement are:

  • The lines suggest that the man has a plan in his mind.
  • He wants to reach the destination as he has planned. He has already calculated the distance that he has covered.
  • After a long hike, he wishes to ‘celebrate’. He wishes to have lunch at the destination.

Thus, his will to go ahead and the word ‘celebrate’ suggests that the man is optimistic.
