IMO A

Annoyed seems a right word.

Annoyed is in the past tense . So act of taking a loan already happened in the past.

You taking a loan suggests that Loan yet has to be taken in future.

therefore IMO Your seems a right word.

E - Passive.

Hence A

What is the source of these kind of questions? I don't understand the distinction in A and B or C and D, SC check grammar not your vocab.

Either way A (or B, although aggravated is not the right word here) should be the OA (possessive pronoun used with gerunds).
