Explanation

Retraction means the act of withdrawing or taking back a statement, claim, or declaration. Withdrawal is the closest synonym among the options. Disown means to refuse to acknowledge connection with, annulment means to make invalid, and loathing means intense hatred or disgust - none capture the withdrawal aspect of retraction.
