I think it is E, because he literally failed to hide his anger despite the efforts.

He failed to conceal his anger and people could detect that he was very annoyed is the correct answer I think.

well basically concealing means to hide....so it cannot be D,
and with context of the sentence you cannot use the word succeed so eliminate option C.
and again agony means pain...so if its B it contradicts the statement..and it obviously cant be A since it means happy and not angry...so its E :)

It should be option B because despite form of two different words and meaning perfectly fit for the despite.

Effort means he tried to hide his anger but his effort he kept did not work that is the reason people came to know.

As DESPITE results in negative sense according to that we can go for 'E'.

'Despite' creates a contrast, but the statement says he tried to conceal his anger, which means that even as he tried to, he still showed that he was angry.
So, Answer E is the correct answer.
