A Correct answer
Explanation

The correct answer is A because 'aggravated' means made worse or more serious, which is what happens when a situation cannot be controlled. 'Agonized' means suffered physical or mental pain, 'blew up' is too informal, so 'aggravated' correctly captures the sense of a situation deteriorating or becoming more serious.
