The correct answer is E. sufferings.
Agony is intense pain or distress. Apathy is a lack of interest, enthusiasm, or concern. Woes are troubles or problems. Sorrow is a feeling of deep sadness. Suffering is the state of undergoing pain, distress, or hardship.
In this case, the people have decided to meet the Prime Minister in order to have their sufferings heard. This means that they are experiencing pain, distress, or hardship, and they want the Prime Minister to know about it. They may be hoping that the Prime Minister will be able to help them, or at least to understand their situation.
The other options are not as relevant to the situation. Agony is too strong a word to describe the people’s feelings, and apathy does not accurately reflect their level of concern. Woes and sorrow are more general terms that could be used to describe any kind of trouble or sadness, but they do not specifically refer to suffering.
