Both are incorrect.
Yikes okay 1 is C because she is doing an action? and for 2 C because he is also doing an action.
1 - yes because the gerund phrase modifies the verb "stepping". Still no on #2. The noun clause is "the toy that fido is chewing". The toy is the subject, the phrase specifies which toy.
Thank you so much for explaining that helped a lot.
