Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. insisted.
Let's have a look at the meaning of the given options:-
- requested- to ask for something.
- insisted- to say strongly that you must have or do something, or that somebody else must do something.
- offered- to ask if somebody would like something or to give somebody the chance to have something.
- suggested- to mention a plan or an idea that you have for somebody to discuss or consider.
As "she was saying strongly for paying the bill" the chosen option will be correct.

The correct sentence will be-
