C
He is concerned, because he thinks Anthony will only be happy if he plays soccer.
D

Explanation
Ricky asks Anthony why he is there and says he thought Anthony wasn’t a soccer fan. His eye roll suggests annoyance or disbelief when Anthony explains that he never said he disliked soccer. This shows Ricky is frustrated and doesn’t understand Anthony’s decision to leave the team for another hobby, making D the best choice.
