​ We need a present participle form of a verb to form an adjective phrase and modify the noun COMPANY. The word would highlight the action performed by the company alongside or following the acknowledgement of the vulnerabilities. DISTRIBUTING (giving something to many people) will fit here to highlight the action of giving rewards to people who identified and reported those vulnerabilities. Thus, A is the right answer. The other words are either grammatically or contextually incorrect. Gleaming (present participle form verb) - shining brightly, especially with reflected light. Gesturing (present participle form verb) - directing someone somewhere by means of a gesture. Upswing (noun) - a marked increase or improvement. Relegating (present participle form verb) - assigning an inferior rank or position.
