A
watching
💡 Explanation:
The verb 'enjoy' is followed by the gerund 'watching', not the infinitive 'to watch'. This is a standard English grammar rule - enjoy + gerund. 'In seeing' is grammatically awkward. 'Seeing' would work but 'watching' is more natural for the setting sun, which involves a dynamic process. Tourists experience the sunset as an ongoing activity.
