  1. pursued- to try to achieve something or to continue to do something over a period of time.
  2. carried- to hold somebody/something in your hand, arms or on your back while you are moving from one place to another.
  3. persisted- to continue doing something even though other people say that you are wrong or that you cannot do it.

Hence, the chosen option will be correct.
