Answer:
Greed leads to destruction.
Explanation:
In the story of "Hofus the Stonecutter" we have a stonecutter who, when he sees more powerful men and forces, wishes to become them and every time his wish came true. First it was the wish to be a rich and powerful merchant, but as soon as he realized that the officer was more powerful that people even bow to him he wished to be the officer, when that bored him and when he saw that sun has more power, he transformed to it. But even then he wasn't satisfied as the black cloud hid him, so of course he continued the change and became the black cloud, but the wind soon made him realize that it is more powerful and he changed to it. His final transformation was to a rock and when he felt that someone is beating him, he wondered who might be more powerful than a rock and he saw a stonecutter - his very own beginning. So, being greedy and blinded by power and money leads to a destruction, if Hofus didn't let himself go so far and if he was satisfied with less, he could have lived peaceful and rich life.
I'm pretty sure the answer is A.) gerund.
