A Correct answer
Explanation

The regex pattern /(dr.*ing)/ matches text starting with 'dr' and ending with 'ing', capturing everything in between. In the sentence, 'drizzling, but now it is heavily raining' matches this pattern (dr + izzling, but now it is heavily rain + ing). The match is stored in RegExp.$1.
