Application

The verbs Granted, Allowed and Sanctioned have same meanings.

But

‘Grant’ is used when something requested.

‘Sanctioned’ is used for ‘official permission or approval’.

‘Allowed’ is used in ‘informal’ way.

From the sentence, we can say that it is an informal conversation.

Hence, ‘Allowed’ is the appropriate use here.
