Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:

A simpleton is unintelligent, gullible, and acts like a fool.

Answer:

B. acts unintelligent, acts gullible, and foolish

Step-by-step explanation:

Option B is the best way to replace the sentence underlined in the sentence shown above. This is because it allows the meaning of the original sentence to be maintained, but the sentence to be presented in a more succinct, elegant and direct way, going directly to the way a simpleton acts and how are the actions that this type of person presents.
