Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Here, (c) is incorrect. Here, any list of activities (which the boys did) must be written in the same grammatical form. Whatever grammatical form is applied to one item is applied to all items. But, here running and biking end with “ing”, but hiked ends with “ed”. So, the correct would be,” running, biking and hiking”.
