Official Correct Choice:
Option D: Subject
Concept: Gerund Phrases as Nominal Subjects.

Solution: The gerund phrase "Jogging every morning" performs the action of the verb "improves", functioning as the nominal subject of the sentence.

Why other options are incorrect:
  • Options A & B: Objects follow transitive verbs; here the phrase precedes the verb.

  • Option C: Predicate nouns follow linking verbs.
