The correct answer is number 2. Ambivalence.

Ambivalence refers to the state of having mixed feelings or different ideas about something or a person. In the given situation, Brian had the feeling of ambivalence, since a passerby had smiled on him, which possibly made him think about different ideas that the person may like him or knows him.
