I think it would be vacationing, because it is the subject of the sentence. The only other option would be sewing but since that looks more like an adjective I think vacationing would be the right answer.

The boldface term that correctly indicates a gerund is B) VACATIONING is an important thing to do with your family.

The gerunds is a part of speech. Gerunds are words that are formed by a verb followed by ing, like the present participle. The important thing to remember is that gerunds are formed by verbs but they act as nouns. When you see an ing-form it can be a verb, the present participle complete form, it can also be a modifier or a gerund that is a verb used as a noun.
