entertained and amused
perplexed or puzzled
made unhappy or saddened

Explanation:

The sentence uses "confused" as a synonym - like context for "baffled". "Perplexed or puzzled" has a similar meaning to confused (and baffled), as they all relate to being unclear or unsure. The other options (upset/angered, entertained/amused, made unhappy/saddened) don't match the idea of confusion.

Answer:

C. perplexed or puzzled (assuming the options are labeled A - D with A: upset or angered, B: entertained and amused, C: perplexed or puzzled, D: made unhappy or saddened)
