Correct Answer: feeling depressed


Solution : The correct choice is the third option.

Explanation : "Feeling depressed" is a more idiomatic and accurate expression than "being depressed". It refers to experiencing a state of low mood, sadness, and a general lack of interest or pleasure in activities. Depression is a mental health condition characterised by persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and a diminished ability to enjoy life.

Therefore, the correct sentence would be: "I was feeling depressed when you called."
