There's an unofficial rule here that you have to have a go yourself before we give you the answer.
But I can tell you it's not 2. or 3.

Furthermore, you can't tell--just by looking at it in isolation like that--if it's a gerund or a present participle unless you know where it sits in the sentence. For example:

Gerund (a subject or an object)

Subject: Typing is fun.
Object of a verb: I like typing.
Object of a preposition: This time is for typing.

Present Participle (part of a verb or an adjective)

Verb: I was typing when you called.
Adjective: I need typing paper.
