    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.
