Correct answer: C
Answer: Noun (gerund).
"Fasting" is a gerund — a verb form ending in -ing that is used as a noun.
Function in the sentence: It is the subject (the activity being discussed).
Replacement test: You can replace "fasting" with "the act of fasting": "The act of fasting is good for health." This shows it behaves like a noun.
