A, B and C are out because of paralelism
a child's 1) acquisiton of language
2) thinking (noun here)
and emotional skills .
If we use acquire we break the paralelism among three things.
This is my ex post (BLUE COLORED) . I've discovered that ;
The subject is acquisition
indicating that a child’s acquisition of language, thinking, and emotional skills is an active process that
child's acquisition of
1) language
2)thinking
3) emotional skills
child's acquisition is an active process .
Please do not post answers visibly . Please hide them or post them later after the discussion.

"findings" is being modified by "that" so you need the plural verb "indicate."
