Correct Answer: To desire the unattainable.


Solution : The third option is the correct choice.

The idiom "cry for the moon" is used to convey the idea of expressing a desire for something that is impossible or highly unlikely to happen. The phrase suggests an impractical or unrealistic wish, similar to asking for the moon, which is unattainable.

Therefore, the correct answer is to desire the unattainable.
