Explanation
The adjective ‘annoyed’ takes different prepositions for different objects. With a person (‘us’), the correct collocation is ‘annoyed with’. ‘Annoyed at’ is used for things or situations, as in ‘annoyed at the delay’. ‘Annoys’ is a verb and cannot follow ‘was’ here. Hence option (b) is correct.
