First, you need to know what a gerund is. It refers to a word form that looks like a verb + ing. So here, the gerund phrase is <em>walking in the deep snow. </em>Also, you need to know that gerund is practically a noun in a sentence, meaning that it can function as either a subject or an object of a sentence. Here, the correct answer is the subject.
If you are unsure, you can replace the phrase with a pronoun He, for example: He made me feel... And you will know it is a subject, because the object would be Him.

Explanation:
If the passage you're talking about is this:
<span>"So the Helming woman went on her rounds,
queenly and dignified, decked out in rings,
offering the goblet to all ranks,
treating the household and the assembled troop
until it was Beowulf’s turn to take it from her hand."
Then the correct answer is C. a gift-giving.
Before going into a fight, the warriors honour each other with gifts. This was a common Anglo-Saxon ritual of great significance. It meant that the people who are honouring each other are a community in which they treat each other with respect, fight side by side, and pledge to keep each other safe in the battles to come.</span>
