Answer:

C.) O Words that show action or states of being.

Step-by-step explanation:

Verbs can be confusing sometimes, especially when you are trying to find them in a sentence. Basically, a verb is an action (like something being done, such as moving a cup). This is what makes option C.) correct, because it states that "words that show action or states of being," which is actually the definition of verb. Now we can dsicuss why the other options are incorrect.

Option A.) is incorrect, because verbs do not describe how something is done. Option B.) is incorrect as well, because verbs don't really describe nouns. That is more of something that an adjective does, so this option is wrong. Option D.) is also incorrect, because verbs don't really tell us how or when something happened, they kind of only tell us what is happening. This leaving us with the correct option, which is option C.

I hope this helps.
