Solution

The correct option is B Practising
A present participle is made up of verb combined with '-ing'. It may be used as an adjective to modify nouns, as in the given sentence.
From the given options, Option A : 'Practising' is present participle form of verb which is appropriate to complete the given sentence, as blank is immediately followed by a noun 'yoga'.
Option A - 'Practise' is a verb which cannot be used in the beginning of a sentence, preceded by a noun, Option B - 'To practise' is infinitive form of the verb which is also not suitable because infinitive form of verb is used to express purpose, Option D - 'Having practised' expresses an action which is completed at the given point of time. But in the given sentence, a universal truth is expressed.
The completed sentence, thus, becomes : Practising yoga is a means of remaining calm even in disturbing situations.
