Correct answer
Explanation
The clause 'although it would displease his boss' is a subordinate clause that follows the main clause structure. The sentence structure is: 'He did not grant their request for a loan although it would displease his boss.' This is grammatically correct. The pronoun 'it' refers back to the request, and 'would' indicates hypothetical consequence. Option C is correctly marked as the answer.
