Creating fear in us, the tour guide turned out the lights in the passage.
Studentka2010 [4]

"Creating fear in us" is a gerund verbal phrase. Option A is correct.

A gerund phrase always begin with a gerund,(an ing word), and may include other modifiers and/or objects. Gerund phrases always function as nouns, so they will be subjects, subject complements, or objects in the sentence. So, to put it simply, a gerund is a noun formed with a verb ending in ing. In this particular case the gerung in the sentence is the verb "creating;"(create+ing).
