The expression "to fill out the necessary paperwork" is not connected to the idea of "asking for" or "demanding" the forms. Filling out paperwork refers to the act of completing them.
"To fill out the necessary paperwork" is not connected to the idea of "withdrawing candidacy". In this context, Zirconda is actually taking steps to become a member country of the EU, and not to "back out" or withdraw their candidacy.
The expression "to fill out the necessary paperwork" is not connected to the idea of a "public declaration" or "an announcement", it actually expresses "submitting the required forms and documents".

This is a correct choice. "To fill out (a form)" is to complete the form with the necessary information. Note that in British English, the correct construction is "to fill IN (a form)".
This is an incorrect choice. You can't "fill out" a glass. A better choice would be to "fill up" a glass when it is empty. The preposition "up" is used with "fill" to describe adding liquid (gas, champagne, water) to something else (a glass, a tank, a bucket, etc).
This is an incorrect choice. You can't "fill out" a line, however, you can "file" in a line. When people "file out", they move in order, one following the other.
This is a correct choice. "To fill out (a form)" is to complete the form with the necessary information. You can "fill out" an application, since applications (demands for employment) require certain specific information from the applicant.
