Solution : The sentence can be improved using the first option.
Confess means to admit and fit in the sentence correctly, which helps convey the intended meaning of the sentence that the speaker is confessing that he is feeling uneasy.
The meanings of the other options are as follows:
Say to is not used when expressing one's feelings and is incorrect. The other options, connive, which means to be secretly involved in something wrong, and utter, which means to speak loudly, do not convey the intended meaning of the sentence.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: "I must confess to a feeling of uneasiness."
