Explanation:
"Bad" is an adjective describing how they felt, so the correct sentence is:
"They felt bad while leaving their friends."
This option is incorrect because the adverb "very" is modifying the adjective "badly," which describes the verb "felt." Instead, it should be "They felt bad" or "They felt very bad."
This option is incorrect because "badly" modifies the verb "felt," so the adjective form "bad" should be used instead.
