Solution
The correct option is C to win
A verb is used to express an occurrence, action, or state. It is the grammatical centre of the predicate in a sentence.
D. to win is correct as the sentence expresses a direction to what she finds easy.
A. won is in simple past tense and it denotes an action that is already happened whereas we want to present a habitual action in present. So, it is incorrect.
B. winning, which is a gerund, is used to indicate a verb as a noun. Here, it doesn't fit.C. wins is verb in simple present tense. We need a preposition to show link between the wins and previous part; without it, it doesn't make sense.
