Simply because for taking and taking are wrong......doesn't have sense the use of ing form before her as pronoun
So we have b and D with to take in the final. But B is ackward mainly because is redundant.
D is the best choice. Looking always at what is before and after the underlined portion of the sentence

I chose D too because it seemed to be the best option, but I can't find anything grammatically wrong with B. I would venture a guess that a question like this wouldn't wind up on the GMAT? But maybe I'm missing something.
