Excuse me which option is the most natural? I'm thinking of (b) but as in the situation it has been mentioned that you hear a crunching sound I wonder if it can be the most natural option.

You are an officer manager and are interviewing to fill a position that is open. You are interviewing someone now. You walk over to the filing cabinet to get the applicant’s form when you accidentally step on a small shopping bag belonging to the applicant. You hear a distinct crunching

a) Oops, I’m sorry.
b) Oh, I’m so sorry! I didn’t see your bag- I hope nothing’s broken
c) Oh, I’m sorry. I’m afraid something in this bag broke.
d) Oh. I should have been more careful.

Just say "I'm sorry. Was there something in there?"

Of your four, I'd go with b.

If I were going for a job interview, I wouldn't take a shopping bag with me!
