A Correct answer
Explanation

The correct answer is 'at' because 'shout at' is the correct phrasal verb when speaking angrily to someone. 'Shout to' would be used to get someone's attention, but the context 'at the top of his voice' combined with 'she did not hear' suggests he was directing his anger toward her. 'Against' and 'for' are not used with 'shout' in this context.
