Correct answer: C
Correct answer: making
Explanation:
Use the gerund after 'stop' when you mean to cease an action. 'Making' is the gerund form and correctly expresses stopping the action of making mistakes.
Correct usage (ceasing an action): Please, stop making so many mistakes.
Contrast with 'stop to + infinitive' (pause to do something else): He stopped to make a phone call. This means he paused what he was doing in order to make the call.
Why the others are wrong: 'to make' would change the meaning to 'stop in order to make', and the plain base form 'make' is ungrammatical after 'stop' in this sense.
