Answer
A
I saw her coming and let her catch up with me so we could talk.
B
I barged into the room and immediately confronted her about her vicious remark.
C
I waited for her to walk by, then asked her if she had a minute to talk.
D
The next time I saw her, I asked her what she meant by what she’d said.

Explanation

“I barged into the room” and “immediately confronted her” use forceful actions that show the speaker is angry or upset. The other sentences describe asking to talk or clarify something in a more neutral way, without showing as much emotion through the details.
