The cookies were burning on the stove, much to my horror.

Answer: Option B.

<u>Explanation:</u>

In English Grammar, verbs are known as the action words. The words which show that some kind of action is being done or was being done are known as verbs in the English Grammar.

In the above sentence, since the word burning shows that the cookies were burning means that it is a verb since some kind of action was being performed. And it ends with ing, this means that it is the present participle of the verb burn.
