Answer:

The answer is A.

Explanation:

Gerund and present participle are -ING modifiers. They are verbals which means that although look like verbs, they have the function of another part of speech. In a sentence, they are modifiers because they give us closer information about the main word. However, when we use them, we need to avoid misplaced modifiers.
