During the 1992 Presidential campaign, President George H. W. Bush and his promise four years earlier to never raise taxes experienced considerable criticism from economic conservatives who felt betrayed by Bush's 1990 tax-hike, which he implemented over the objections of economic conservatives who decried tax hikes, insisted that low taxes created wealth, and contended that deregulation promoted innovation.

Phew !! I am literally scared of fully underlined SCs :(

IMO B.

Bush experienced considerable criticism from economic conservatives, insisted that low taxes created wealth, and contended that deregulation promoted innovation - this seems to be intended meaning.

D lacks parallelism.
Getting defeated is just a temporary notion, giving it up is what makes it permanent.

I think B changes the intended meaning of the sentence by using the word insisted.........
