'Long for' means to have a very strong desire or yearning for someone or something. Therefore option D is the correct answer as 'greatly desire' refers to a strong wish to do or have something.
Options A, B, C and E are incorrect because 'to prolong' means extend the duration of something, 'to protract' means to make something last for a long time or last longer than necessary, 'to expect the unexpected' means to not be surprised by an unusual event.; anything could happen, and probably will and 'to feel nostalgic' means feeling happy and also slightly sad when you think about things that happened in the past.
