Asking for a longer repayment period.

Explanation: Extending the loan term spreads the principal and interest over more months, lowering the monthly payment (though it usually increases the total interest paid). The other choices would not help: a payday loan or charging the car to a credit card typically have much higher interest and more cost/risk, and asking for a higher APR would raise — not lower — your monthly payment.
