The choice that correctly identifies the type of verb traveling is in each of the sentence above is option A. Sentence 1: gerund, sentence 2: participle.
Sentence 1 uses the word "Traveling" as a gerund. A gerund is a word that takes the verb form -ing, but functions as a noun in the sentence.

Hands Across America was a public event on Sunday, May 25, 1986, in which approximately 6.5 million people held hands for fifteen minutes in an attempt to form a continuous human chain across the contiguous United States.
Many participants donated ten dollars to reserve their place in line. The proceeds were donated to local charities to fight hunger and homelessness and help those in poverty.
The event raised about $15 million for charities after operating costs.
Hope it helped :)
