Answer from: mattr4960

The correct answer is: Option (B) A gerund

Explanation:

In simple words, a gerund is a form that is derived from a verb but that functions as a noun.

Gerund = (base-form-of-verb) + ing

In the given sentence, there is only one gerund, i.e. acting.

Acting = Act + ing (works as a noun)

Therefore, acting is a gerund, and the sentence contains a gerund.

Hence, the correct answer is option (B) a gerund.
