The correct answer is D. Self-evident.

The correct way to write the A option would be spur-of-the-moment decision; the B option would be thirty-one, and C would be quickly running. The A and B options are hyphenated forms, which means that two or more words are joined together to create a new meaning. The C option is just a regular gerund phrase, not a compound word.
