Explanation
The correct answer is "isn't, is not" because both "isn't" and "is not" are contractions of the verb "is" with the negative particle "not". They can be used interchangeably to indicate the negation of the verb "is" in the present tense. In this case, the word "sad" is being used as an adjective to describe the subject, indicating that the subject is not experiencing sadness.
