When someone interrupts a conversation while others are speaking, the phrasal verb "cut in" is the most appropriate choice. It specifically describes the action of interrupting a dialogue.

A. cut in means to interrupt someone who is speaking, which fits perfectly.

B. cut down typically means to reduce something or chop down a tree, irrelevant here.
