Which article addresses insubordination toward a senior non-commissioned officer?

Insubordination toward a senior noncommissioned officer is addressed by the article that covers disobedience or disrespect toward a superior noncommissioned officer. This provision specifically targets acts of willful disobedience or disrespect directed at enlisted leadership, like a sergeant or higher, who holds authority over you. The other articles deal with different authority figures or broader offenses: disrespect toward a commissioned officer is a separate article, willful disobedience toward a commissioned officer is another, and the general article covers offenses not specifically listed elsewhere. Because the behavior involves a senior NCO, the citation that fits this situation is the one that covers disobedience or disrespect toward a superior noncommissioned officer.
