Solution
Gerunds are words that are formed with verbs but act as nouns. Gerunds also at times are seen to end in 'ing'. In this particular sentence, the word should act as a noun thus becoming the subject of the sentence and as a verb by taking up the object. This means that in the blank, we would need a gerund.
Option D: Of keeping is a gerund as it behaves as a noun as well as a verb in the sentence
Option B: Although it ends with "-ing", it does not act as a noun.
Option A and C: Keep is the present tense of the particular verb. It does not act as a noun
Option D is correct
