Explanation:

The first part of the sentence uses ‘want’ verb form, thus the later verb too needs to be in simple present form for parallelism. This eliminates option 4
Option 1 is incorrect because the verb ‘insists’ requires a preposition to give meaning in the context of this statement.
Between ‘in’ and ‘on’, the latter is the obvious choice as ‘insist in’ is grammatically inaccurate. So, the correct answer is option 2.
