Correct Answer: grumbled at


Solution : The third option is the correct answer.

It means to complain about somebody/something in a bad-tempered way. This option fits the context well, expressing dissatisfaction in a somewhat irritable manner.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Moan at: It means to express dissatisfaction or pain with a prolonged, low sound.

  • Complain about: It means to express dissatisfaction or annoyance about something.

  • Ran after: It means to chase or pursue.

Therefore, the complete sentence is: "He grumbled at the low pay".
