Kent's response indicates a level of emotional maturity and the ability to communicate his emotions effectively. This is more likely to be exhibited by a teenager (around age 14) than by a young child (options A and B). Option D (age 16) is also a possibility, but the scenario does not provide enough information to conclude that Kent is definitely this old.
