B. subject

Step-by-step explanation:

A and D are wrong because there are no objects in the sentence.

C is wrong because, in this sentence, the predicate nominative is a noun phrase, a valuable lifelong skill. Hope this helps.

Answer:

B. subject

Step-by-step explanation:

A gerund is a verb form which functions as a noun.

Writing is a gerund in this sentence. It is the subject, which is a thing or idea that is doing or being something.
