I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is option B. The correct sentence would be "If she doesn't graduate in December, she willgraduate in June." This is the only sentence where the comma is in the right place while the others are wrongly placed.
First, you find the simple subject and simple predicate.
If the '-ing' form of the verb is not part of the simple predicate, then determine how it is used in the sentence. If it's in a noun position, then it's a gerund. If it is used as an adjective, then it will be a participle.
