Solution
The correct option is A I regret that I got carried away.
An assertive sentence usually makes a statement or gives an opinion. Options B, C and D are assertive sentences since all three are statements. However, they are incorrect because the options have changed the meaning of the given sentence. The three options do not include the apology form the original. Moreover, B and D are negative forms of the given sentence where "got carried away" is changed to "will not" and "won't" respectively.
Option A again is an assertive sentence that makes a statement. But unlike the other options, it has retained the meaning of the given sentence and the apologetic tone of the speaker. Thus, option A is correct.
