Solution
The correct option is B Decorating
Option B is the correct answer as verb 'finished' needs an object to complete its sense and gerund 'decorating' is serving that purpose. Also, the sentence talks about
the activity that happened in the past. So, a gerund, not an infinitive, can
convey this sense best. This is why Option D cannot be used as it is an
infinitive. Options A and C cannot be used as this sentence does not require a
verb to complete its meaning.
