refused

reminded

ordered

denied

Correct Answer:
refused
refused
option B and C are already out from the scene as they are irrelevant here,
now let's try to understand the slight difference between refused and denied
Deny and refuse have negative connotations. At first they seem very similar, but they are not easily interchangeable. Deny usually speaks of dismissing the truth but can also be used to refuse an activity or believe in something. Refuse is used to turn down an offer or negate taking part in an activity
so refused option A is the right answer here.
