Option C is the correct answer because the given sentence requires the use of gerunds in order to make grammatical and logical sense. Gerunds are verb forms which function as nouns. An important thing to remember while identifying a gerund is that they are always in the -ing form.

Options A, B, D and E are incorrect because they do not comply with the reasons stated above. They would be grammatically incorrect if used in the sentence.
