Solution

The correct option is C 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 C is the correct answer. Options A,B, and D are all incorrect.
