Please select the best answer from the choices provided

B. Gerund

Explanation:

I calculated it logically

B. gerund

Explanation:

The infinitive is the "base verb", e.g.: to talk (or just "talk", for the bare infinitive).

The gerund is the, well, form ending in -ing when used as a noun, e.g.: talking as in "Talking to people is usually a pleasant experience for me."

The participle is used to modify something, and ends in -ing (present participle) or -ed (past participle, but some are irregular and don't conform to this!), e.g. talking, as in "That's a great talking point!"
