Solution
The correct option is B Gerund
The underlined verb is a gerund because it functions as a noun apart from being structured as a verb. It is the object of the sentence. It does not function as an adjective and, thus, is not a participle. Thus, Option D is the correct answer. Options A,B and C are all incorrect.
