The thieves denied ______

  1. A.having stealing the money.
  2. B.stealing the money.✓ Correct
  3. C.had stolen the money.
  4. D.having to steal the money.

Explanation

The verb 'deny' is followed by a gerund (-ing form). Therefore, 'stealing the money' is the grammatically correct completion. Option (a) is incorrect because 'having stealing' is ungrammatical (should be 'having stolen'); option (c) uses a past perfect verb without proper connector; option (d) changes the meaning. Hence 'stealing the money' is correct.
