Answer 1

The correct option is C to seeing

Gerunds are words that are formed with verbs but act as nouns. Gerunds also at times are seen to end in 'ing'. In this particular sentence, the word in the blank acts a noun thus becoming the subject of the sentence and also like a verb by taking up the object. This means that in the blank, we would need a gerund.

Option C: "To seeing" is a gerund as it behaves as a noun as well as a verb in the sentence

Option A and Option D: "To see" and "See" are in the present perfect tense.

Options B: "Seeing" is in the continuous tense

Option C is correct
