Correct Answer: defeating


Solution : The second option is the correct answer.

When the construction says that, the verb that follows should be in the present participle form, which is defeating in this case.

This structure maintains grammatical accuracy and coherence in conveying the idea that Sun Tzu asserts that the act of defeating the enemy without battle requires greater skill than winning on the battlefield.

Therefore, the correct sentence should be: "Sun Tzu says that defeating the enemy without battle requires greater skill than winning on the battlefield."
