Options

to treating
treating
Solution
Finally, she went to the best doctor in town. The doctor spent months treating her until she was finally cured.
Explanation:
In this sentence, the phrase "until she was finally cured" indicates that the action of treating occurred over some time in the past. Therefore, the verb form that matches the past continuous tense is required. Option (D) "treating" is the gerund form of the verb "treat," which functions as the object of the preposition "on." Using the gerund "treating" here indicates ongoing or continuous action in the past.
