The preposition 'in' is used to express while doing something and when added with the verb 'persisted' it forms the phrasal verb 'persisted in' which means to do or say something repeatedly and showing no intention to stop. Hence option A is the correct answer.
Options B, C and D are incorrect because 'with' is used to indicate being together or being involved, 'on' is used to express a surface of something and 'for' is used to indicate a duration of time.
