Explanation
The idiom 'to cry over spilt milk' means to feel regret or distress about something that has already happened and cannot be changed. It serves as a reminder that it's pointless to worry about past mistakes that cannot be rectified. Option A is correct because it encapsulates this meaning. Options B and C are incorrect because they imply actions of apology and forgiveness, which are not relevant to the idiom's context. Option D is also incorrect as it misinterprets the idiom as relating to daydreaming rather than lamenting past actions.
