The committee has insisted that he recuse himself from the ongoing investigations, whether he is re-elected or not.
‘Committee’ is a collective noun & has been used to refer to a single unit here. So the verb associated with it is ‘has’.
When verbs associated with suggestion (such as advise, ask, demand, insist, prefer, propose, recommend, request, suggest and urge) are used with a noun clause beginning with ‘that’, the clause uses the base verb. So, in the given sentence, ‘recuse’ is correct.

The position of the tiny hyoid bone in our jaws give us fine muscular control over our mouth and tongue, enabling one to make as many as a hundred distinct speech sounds.
The subject of the sentence is 'the position of...', which is singular. So, the verb to match this is 'gives'. The only difference between options C and D is in the use of the plural, 'mouths and tongues' in D. As the sentence uses the plural possessive--'our jaws'--the rest of the sentence has to be in plural.
