I don't want to "see" you disappointed, but the most likely meaning of the word introspection is a close look at one's thoughts or emotions. So there's no need to feel blue about it!

To determine the meaning of the word "introspection," we can break it down into its root and suffix. The root "spect" comes from the Latin word "spectare," which means "to see." The suffix "-ion" is a noun suffix that often indicates an action or process.
By combining these two parts, we can infer that "introspection" means the process of looking inward or examining one's own thoughts and emotions. Therefore, the correct answer is: a close look at one's thoughts or emotions.
