B). Direct Object

Infinitives

"Infinitives" are characterized as the very base form or version of the verb excluding any type of inflection in it.

These may play multiple functions or roles as follows:

  • Subject/Noun
  • Object
  • Adverb
  • Adjective

In the given sentence, the infinitive "to swing" is functioning as the "direct object" because it directly receives the action of the verb 'began.'

Thus, option B is the correct answer.
