Solution
The correct option is D giving
Usually, Present Participle -ing forms do not occur directly after another verb (other than to indicate a parallel activity). Here, refuse is a verb that takes a non-finite clause (to - clause) and thus requires 'to give' in order to make the sentence a correct one.
