Any
The correct answer is Any.
In this case, "at any time" is equivalent to saying "at no time". In questions: "Do you have any questions?" In negative statements: "I don't have any money." After words like 'never', 'hardly', 'without', etc.: "She finished the task without any help." or "He was reputed to have never frowned at the boys at any time." Understanding how 'any' functions in these structures helps in choosing the correct word for blanks involving negative expressions.
