The best word to complete the sentence is defiant.

The complete sentence would read: "Annika tried to get her little brother to bed, but he was defiant."

In this context, "defiant" (an adjective) describes her brother's attitude, which fits correctly with the structure of the sentence. The other options do not fit grammatically in this context.
