answer explanation:
<p><span>The correct answer is </span><strong style="">(D) implementing</strong><span>.</span><br></p><div class="answer">
<p>The verb "considering" is followed by a gerund, which is a verb form ending in -ing. In this case, the gerund form "implementing" is used to show the action that American Express is considering.</p>
<p>Options (A) "implement," (B) "to implement," and (C) "implemented" are incorrect because they do not follow the grammar rules for using a gerund after "considering." Option (A) is the base form of the verb, option (B) uses the infinitive form with "to," and option (C) is the past tense form of the verb.</p>
