The correct response that shows the gerund(s) is:
rolling, exciting, receiving
Gerunds are verbs that function as nouns, and in the paragraph, "rolling" (rolling a ball), "exciting" (as an adjective, but in this context related to the activity), and "receiving" (receiving a treat) are the forms derived from verbs that are used in a noun-like way.
