Correct option - 3

Let's check the find out the meanings of following words :-

Austere - Severe or strict in manner or attitude.

Futile - Incapable of producing any useful result; pointless.

Patch - A particular period of time.

Chaff - Worthless things; rubbish.

Clearly, 'loss' is always bad. Also, preposition 'through' is generally used for continuing in time towards completion of an activity or process. So, options 1 and 2 are completely irrelevant here. Hence, they are eliminated. So, option 3 i.e. patch is the correct answer.
 
Correct sentence - Sohan had helped me a lot when I was going through a bad patch.
