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 :)

In this sentence, first look at the word Despite. It means the people came to know about a thing which is negative of him. Though they know about his good quality, they just ignored it.

Here the key word is 'DESPITE' so the next statement should be
-ve to the statement which is given immediate to the Despite word.

Conceal means hiding something from view or public knowledge. Thus option E is the exact use of despite word in question.

Conceal mens to hide so though he was trying ti hide his anger ppl came to know he was annoyed means irritated or angry.

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

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

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

Camouflaging means

Hide or disguise the presence of (a person, animal, or object) by means of camouflage.

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