Solution

The correct option is B Blocked
'Thwarted' means to prevent (someone) from accomplishing something.
"he never did anything to thwart his father"
In this context, "Tina thwarted her brother's every effort to sell the old house which they grew up in", 'thwarted' means blocked. Hence, option B is correct and the others are not because they do not provide the appropriate information.
