First, you need to find prepositions in these sentences, because not all of them have them. There are no prepositions in C and D, which means we can eliminate those options. Now, you need to know what a gerund is. It is a type of a verb form that ends in -ing. Having that in mind, the object of a preposition is a gerund that follows a preposition. The answer cannot be A, because the preposition in is not followed by a gerund. This means that the correct answer is B. The child was dizzy from twirling.

Answer:

Demonstrative

Explanation:

Those is a word for a demonstrative pronoun.

Demonstrative pronouns are those that are identifying and pointing out something. They can point out a person, a place, a moment, and can be singular or plural.

However, in this specific sentence, there is no pronoun, but those is used as a demonstrative adjective. 

The words for demonstrative adjectives and pronouns are the same (this, these, that, those), but the difference is that the pronouns stand-alone, adjectives stand with the noun and modify it. The only difference is in the structure of the sentence.

Those stands with the word scouts and modifies it, showing us which scouts do we talk about. That is how we know it is the case of the adjective and not the pronoun.
