anybody

OpenStudy (elonasushchik):

which do u think it is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think c

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well a or b

OpenStudy (elonasushchik):

no it's B

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it's A

OpenStudy (elonasushchik):

Its B because Gerunds are words, almost always ending in -ing, that function as nouns. Now, there are two words in that sentence that end in -ing, but only one is functioning as a noun, as the subject of an independent clause. The other is functioning as a verb.
