It is like:.

He said, "Hurrah! India has won the Sahara Cup".

Then we say.
He exclaimed with joy that India had won the Sahara Cup.

Therefore there is an emphatic situation. So, option A is correct.

If its C, then option C will have to be 'The man told that he did not CONFER guilt'.

I think the answer can b either A or B.

If it is "NO, I refuge to confer guilt.

Then option A is correct (refused makes no sense here).

Going by the tense used it should be C. The extra 's' in confers is just that-extra.

Because of the word 'NO' the sentence become forceful and so emphatic is used.
