A participle normally ends in -ing or -ed. 
An infinitive is the simplest stem word of something.

An example of these would be running and run. Running is a participle and run is an infinitive. 

Because you now know this, you can immediately eliminate anything that does not say participle, since we now know running is one. You can eliminate the last two choices. They are wrong.

Running can only ever be used as an adjective and a verb, never a noun. Adjectives are used to describe nouns and verbs are used to describe action that a subject takes.

Could you help me find my running shoes? 

In this sentence, the subject is not running. The shoes are not literally running either. 

Could you help me find my running shoes? 

Running describes the word "shoes" making it an adjective. The shoes are being described as a pair of footwear the speaker wears when they go running.

This means that this is a participle functioning as an adjective.

Why were the villagers in the story hey come on out
dexar [7]

A story of social criticism with an ecological message, Hoshi’s “He-y, Come on Ou-t!,” begins with a mysterious hole that has been created after a landslide in a typhoon. The local villagers are trying to repair a nearby shrine, but the hole must first be filled in before rebuilding can start. A young man leans over and yells “He-y, come on ou-t!” into the hole, thinking that it may be a fox hole. When no one answers or exits the hole, he throws in a pebble, which never seems to reach the bottom.

Eventually the story of the bottomless hole attracts the attention of scientists and the media. The scientists can find no bottom and no cause for the hole, and the villagers decide to have it filled in. A man asks for the hole and offers to build them a shrine elsewhere, which the mayor and townspeople agree to do. The man who gained control of the hole begins a campaign, collecting dangerous nuclear waste and other unwanted objects, which he disposes of into the hole.
