リー is inviting キム to come study together. The pattern 〜ませんか is a polite invitation meaning 'won't you ~? / would you like to ~?' 来ませんか = 'won't you come?' This fits the context of inviting someone to join a study session on Sunday.

• 2来ませんでしたか is past tense ('didn't you come?'), which asks about a past event. Since the study session is on Sunday (future), this does not fit.
• 3来ていますか means 'are you coming now? / have you already come?' (present progressive/result state). It asks about a current state, not an invitation.
• 4来ていましたか is past progressive ('were you coming?'), asking about a past ongoing state. Completely wrong for a future invitation.

• 来きませんか — won't you come? (polite invitation)
• 日曜日にちようび — Sunday
• 家いえ — house / home
• べんきょう — study

Option 1, ひろこさんをおねがいします, is the standard polite telephone expression for asking to speak to someone. Literally 'I request Hiroko-san,' it functions as 'May I speak with Hiroko-san, please?' Honda responds 'はい。ちょっとまってくださいね' ('Yes, please wait a moment'), confirming she will call/transfer Hiroko. This fits the phone-call context perfectly.

• 2ひろこさんをください is not a proper telephone expression. 〜をください means 'please give me ~' (used when ordering or requesting items). Using it with a person's name sounds like 'please give me Hiroko,' which is unnatural and inappropriate for a phone call.
• 3ひろこさんと話しますか means 'Will you talk with Hiroko?' — a question directed at Honda. This does not function as a request to speak to Hiroko and does not fit Kitayama's role as the caller making a request.
• 4ひろこさんと話しませんか means 'Won't you talk with Hiroko?' — an invitation. This is not how one asks to be connected to someone on the phone.

• 〜をおねがいします — polite phone expression: 'May I speak to ~, please?' (literally 'I request ~')
• 電話でんわで — on the phone / by phone (で = means)
