Answer 12

I was trying to be funny...maybe try: "STUDYING is the best way to prepare for a test." Studying can be a transitive verb ("I am studying"), or a gerund ("studying is hard"). When its used as a noun to describe the act of studying, it's a gerund. In the example above, it's the subject of the sentence.
