Correct Answer: Tracing


Solution : The correct choice is the third option.

It is the gerund form of the verb "trace". In the sentence, the gerund "tracing" serves as the object of the verb "encourage". The sentence is describing activities that encourage children to read and write letters and numbers.

Using tracing here is grammatically correct because it conveys the ongoing action of tracing as a means to help children learn.
