○ begging
○ helping
○ robbing
○ greeting

Explanation:

To solve this vocabulary question, we analyze the meaning of "importuning". "Importuning" means to repeatedly ask or beg for something in a persistent or annoying way. "Begging" also involves asking earnestly, often repeatedly, for something. "Helping" is about assisting, "robbing" is stealing, and "greeting" is welcoming or saying hello, which are not related to the meaning of "importuning". So the closest meaning is "begging".

Answer:

A. begging
