Is the underlined word a predicate nominative or a predicate adjective?

The underlined word is belts right? If so then I know the answer it may be late but i can asure you that this is the right answer and it is predicate nominative.

Ah, complements... I hate these so much.

Have been is a linking verb, so therefore you go straight to what's after it. Gear is a noun, along with belts. Predicate nominative is a fancy word for noun. The answer is A. Predicate Nominative
