Correct Answer: (2)
Solution : The second option is the correct choice.
Explanation : "Insist that'' should be replaced with the past tense ''insisted that'' to maintain the subject-verb agreement in the sentence. ''Insisted that'' should be used, thereby indicating the past action of Vikram insisting on his innocence.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: "Vikram insisted that he was innocent."
