B.

The word impertinent means intrusive, presumptuous, and rude. Someone who is pushy gives their opinions and thoughts even when they're not asked for. Answers A and D assume that the girl is correct with what she says, but we have no context in the sentence to know if that's true or not. It is clear though, that she is irritating and does not listen because she is too busy talking herself.
