A.  跟 (gēn) ，给 (gěi)
   
B.  给 (gěi) ，和 (hé)
   
C.  跟 (gēn) ，和 (hé)
   
Correct Answer: B
“给(gěi)”
In the Chinese language, “给(gěi)” is most frequently used as the verb “to give.”
Example
Gěi wǒ yìbēi chá.
给   我   一杯 茶。
Please give me a cup of tea.
   
But in phrases such as, “给你打电话 (gěi nǐ dǎ diànhuà) give you a call,” “给他写信 (gěi tā xiěxìn) write to him,” etc, “给(gěi)” is used as a preposition meaning “to; for” and the structure is:
Subject + “给(gěi)” + … + Verb
In this structure, the action is produced by the subject and here “给 (gěi)” is used to introduce the recipient of the action.
Examples
Linda:  Nǐ  zěnme zhème jǐnzhāng?
Linda：你 怎么     这么     紧张？
Linda: Why are you so nervous?
   
Zhāng Míng: Yīnwèi wǒ yào gěi lǐngdǎo huìbào gōngzuò.
张           明：因为    我   要   给  领导     汇报     工作。
Zhang Ming: I need to report my job to my leader.
   
Wǒ gěi nǐ chàng shǒu gē ba!
我   给  你  唱      首     歌 吧！
Let me sing a song for you!
   
“跟(gēn)” & “和(hé)”
In the Chinese language, “跟 (gēn)” can be used as a verb meaning “to follow.”
Example
Gēn wǒ lái!
跟     我 来！
Follow me!
   
But when it is used as a conjunction, “跟 (gēn)” shares the same meaning and usage with “和 (hé),” which means “and.”
The structure is: A + 跟(gēn)/和(hé) + B
But “跟(gēn)” is usually used more often in spoken Chinese.
Examples
July gēn/hé Cindy shì shuāngbāotāi.
July 跟/和    Cindy 是   双胞胎。
July and Cindy are twin sisters.
   
Jim gēn/hé Zhào Wěi zhèngzài dǎ lánqiú
Jim 跟/和    赵      伟   正在         打 篮球。
Jim and Zhao Wei are playing basketball.
   
Both “跟 (gēn)” and “和 (hé)” can be used as prepositions meaning “with” or “together with.”
The structure is: Subject1 + 跟(gēn)/和(hé)+ Subject1 + Verb
We can use the structure to express “doing something with somebody.”
Examples
David:   Nǐ néng gēn/hé wǒ qù yīyuàn ma?
David：你 能      跟/和    我  去 医院     吗？
David: Can you go to the hospital with me?
   
Lǐ Píng: Hǎo de.
李   萍：好 的。
Li Ping: Okay.
