Correct Answer: how badly
Solution : The correct choice is the first option .
Explanation : Badly should replace "bad", as it is the adverbial form of "bad", and it helps convey the extreme desire of the speaker to want a baby. It is being used to modify the verb "wanted" in a sense that emphasises the intensity of the desire.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: "He knows how badly I wanted a baby."
