A
have not worked
💡 Explanation:
'Have not worked' is correct because the sentence requires the present perfect tense to connect past action to present consequences. The structure 'will be angry with you because you ______ properly' indicates an existing condition causing future anger. Present perfect ('have not worked') shows the incomplete action up to now. Simple past ('not worked') lacks the connection to present, and 'was not worked' is passive voice, grammatically incorrect here.
