    Solution

    In A, replace the base form of the verb ENDURE with the adjective ENDURING (long-lasting) as we need an adjective to modify the noun PLEASURE. The sentence would then read, "The enduring pleasure derived from timeless activities such as gardening or painting lies not just in the momentary joy they bring, but in the ongoing satisfaction and sense of fulfilment they provide over time". Thus, A is the right answer.
