Answer:

a. Subject.

Step-by-step explanation:

A gerund is a verb with an '-ing' that functions as a noun in a sentence. And a gerund phrase is a phrase containing a gerund and the words modifying it.

In the given sentence "loading seven kids in a vehicle is no easy task", the gerund phrase is "loading seven kids in a vehicle". And the phrase functions as the main subject of the sentence.

Thus, the correct answer is option a.
