The correct answer is D. Rock climbers enjoy ascending the monolith El Capitan

Explanation:

A gerund phrase is composed by a gerund (word ending in -ing) followed by a modifier, which are words that modify (adjectives or adverbs) or followed by objects. These type of phrases can be subjects or objects in a sentence, in the case of gerund phrases as objects it means it is the entity or object affected by the verb. In the sentence <em>Rock climbers enjoy ascending the monolith El Capitan, </em>the subject or person that carries our the action is <em>Rock climbers; </em>the verb or action is <em>enjoy</em> and the object or  what is affected by the verb, it means what rock climbers enjoy is <em>ascending the monolith El Capitan </em>which is compound by a gerund  (<em>ascending)</em> plus an object (<em>the monolith El Capitan) </em>which makes it a gerund phrase. Thus, the sentence that includes a gerund phrase is D. Rock climbers enjoy ascending the monolith El Capitan.
