______________ in the frozen wastes of Arctic takes special equipment.

What is taking (requiring) "special equipment"?

It is "survival" (noun form)

If we use "To survive" (infinitive form)we need to modify the sentence as

  • To survive in the frozen wastes of Arctic, it takes special equipment.

"Surviving" is also not correct because we are not having a noun here. 

PS: "Although a gerund phrase can function as the subject of a sentence, adding an “ing” to a verb does not make it a noun."

References:

Correct Answer: C "survival".
