A Correct answer
Explanation

The article 'The' is incorrectly used before 'dancing' in this context. When using gerunds (verb+ing) to describe an activity, articles are not used. The correct sentence should be 'Dancing is my hobby' or 'I enjoy dancing'. The word 'The' makes it sound like a specific instance rather than the general activity.
