How would you react to an E2 who "smart mouths" you in formation?

Here's the background. You're a senior E5. Your troops are in formation and you're handing out work for the day. You hand out an assignment to a fresh E2 with less than a year in and only a few months at your command. They blatantly complain and tell you to choose someone else. You calmly tell them they will do this task and they tell you to shove it and give it to someone else. How do you react?

I would smoke-check that E-2 like he should be. Disrespect too a senior NCO will not be tolerated by no means at all.

Shut him down while in formation put him in the front leaning rest position. After formation grab another NCO and address the issue.

Take a big old dump on him. Show respect and keep your bearing specially in formation. You cannot allow one to do that in front of others. He rises up in front of others he gets checked in front of others

Tell him and his supervisor to stand fast and have everyone else fall out. Rip them both a new ass and ask the supervisor later what the hell is going on with junior GI.

I would say "Ok, fine. I will find someone else to do that task". I would then find the worst possible job available to assign to this young Sailor. I would then explain to him the error of his ways while PTing him until he puked. Only at that point would I know his lesson had been learned.
Any Command that would not support and expect this type of discipline from its NCO's has a leader that should be immediately removed from the military before they weaken it further.
