The gerunds in the paragraph are "learning," "rolling," and "receiving." To identify a gerund, look for a verb that ends in "-ing" and is functioning as a noun in the sentence. In this paragraph, "learning" is a gerund because it is the subject of the sentence "Learning is an exciting activity for the puppy." "Rolling" is a gerund because it is used as part of the noun phrase "rolling a ball across the floor." "Receiving" is a gerund because it is the object of the verb "will be." Therefore, the correct answer is "learning, rolling, receiving."
