The sentence that does NOT use a gerund is:
B. Simon is performing on Broadway in New York next year.
In this sentence, "performing" is part of the verb phrase "is performing," so it is not functioning as a gerund (which acts as a noun). The other sentences contain gerunds: "Eating," "reading," and "practicing" are all gerunds used as nouns.
