Show answer and solution
Answer: (B) walking to riding
The verb 'prefer' takes 'to' for comparison, not 'than', and both items compared should be in the same form. 'Walking to riding' keeps both gerunds parallel and uses the correct preposition. Options with 'than' repeat the error, and mixing an infinitive with a gerund breaks parallelism.
