D Correct answer
Explanation

Heckle means to interrupt a speaker with derisive or aggressive comments, essentially to annoy them persistently. 'Annoy' is the correct synonym in this context. 'Trite' means overused, 'avarice' means greed, and 'tirade' is an angry speech - none match the meaning of heckling.
