Correct answer: D. inflating bicycle tires
Explanation: A gerund is a verb form ending in -ing that functions as a noun. "Inflating bicycle tires" names an activity and acts as the object in the sentence, so it is the gerund phrase. The other options are the subject ("My dad"), the verb ("always made"), and the complement/prepositional phrase ("like a piece of cake").
