Answer

The best sentence using plain language and familiar words is: **As you requested, we will question our agent.**Here's why the other options are less clear:* **By engaging in a constructive dialogue with our associate, we will acquire the information in which you're interested:** This is overly formal and wordy. "Constructive dialogue" and "acquire the information" are more complex than necessary.* **We can't make any grantees, but we'll ask our agent:** "Grantees" seems misused here. It likely intends to convey a promise or guarantee, but using the word incorrectly makes the sentence confusing.* **Pursuant to your invitation we will interrogate our agent:** "Pursuant to" and "interrogate" are overly formal and create a more aggressive tone than likely intended.
