Correct Answer: that was beginning to affect her ability


Solution : The first option is correct.

Explanation :
The connector that is used to introduce a restrictive clause here, specifies and defines the preoccupation as the direct cause affecting her ability. Affect is the correct verb to indicate influence or impact.

Therefore, the correct sentence would be: "This preoccupation with him was becoming an obsession that was beginning to affect her ability to take care of the house."
