Correct Answer: on raising
Solution : The correct choice to fill in the blank is the third option.
The preposition "on" should be used before "raising" in the sentence to make it grammatically accurate and convey the intended meaning. The gerund form of "raise" is correct as it tells us that this is an ongoing action.
Therefore, the complete sentence is: The Prime Minister insisted on raising fuel prices in the Cabinet meeting.
