If the first part (of resorting) begins with "of" and a verb that ends in -ing, then also the highlighted part must begin with "of" and a verb that ends in -ing. The correct answer should be (D). It's about using correct verb tenses and critical thinking!

Sorry, I made a mistake. It's (C) the correct answer. It's still the same reason as I've explained :-)
