support for doing sth    这里强调的是支持classify这个动作本身   所以用动名词classifying

riverplata

D, E不可能对,因为无论是classifying 还是calssify都是动词的意义,整个句子中根本就没有该动作的逻辑主语

所以只能用classsification这样一个名词性的意义来避免这种尴尬处境---我的理解

个人认为,动词是优于名词的,OG上基本上都是这样

其次,还觉得这里的结构应该是provide...for 跟support的搭配似乎没什么关系喃

这是一种习惯用法，我也不知道为什么是这样，但大家到google上输入provide support 会出现无数种provide support for doing 的用法

but classifying is a gerund-dong min chi.And gerund<Noun. Therefore, i cannot see the reason why it should not have been C?

是provide sth. for sth.

not support to ....

支持8楼的，这里support是名称，动词是provide，用法为provide sth. for sth.，classifying在这里起名词的作用
