Answer:

The correct answer is option B. Gerund.

Explanation:

The gerund is a form of the verb that can act as a noun. The gerund is formed with the ending -ing.

In this case the gerund is located after a preposition, and one of the rules of grammar tells us that after a preposition we can only use the gerund, never an infinitive verb.

Other ways of use are:

When one verb follows another verb.
As a subject or complement of a sentence.
After phrasal verbs.
