Let us understand the meaning of the given words:-
* Insisted = (verb) to demand that something happen or that someone agree to do something.
* Informed = (verb) to tell someone about something especially in an official way.
* Told = (verb) to give information to someone by speaking or writing.
* Warned = (verb) to tell someone about something especially something dangerous or unpleasant that is likely to happen.
Now let's find out the correct fit for the blank:
* “Informed” as a verb means to share information in an official way. But in the given sentence there is no such official relation. Thus, option B is incorrect.
* “Told” as a verb means to share information to someone either by speaking or by writing. Thus, option C is incorrect.
* “Warned” as a verb means to share information to someone about something dangerous or unpleasant that is going to happen. Thus, option D is incorrect.
* "Insisted" as a verb means demanding something to be followed or to do something. Here in the given sentence, “trek manager” is asked “trekkers” in demanding tone that they should take rest for some time before starting the climbing activity.
Note: Use of “Inform” or “Told” simply shows that information is being shared to the listener. They don’t show the sense of “intended action/expected action from receiver”. This sense of “expected action” is reflected in the usage of verb “Insisted”. Hence, “Insisted” is the best option.
Thus, "Insisted" becomes the correct word to fill in the blank.
Thus, the correct sentence will be:
The trek manager insisted that the trekkers rest for a while before the climb.
Hence, option A is the correct answer.
