Solution

The correct option is B compel
Option B is the correct answer because 'coerce' means to compel or force.
Options A, C and D are incorrect because 'argue' means exchange or express diverging or opposite views, typically in a heated or angry way, 'persuade' means to convince and 'insist' means demand something forcefully, not accepting refusal.
