Answer

The answer is (a) as an adverb.

Explanation
Option 1: as an adverb

The underlined phrase "Yelling loudly" describes how the action of alerting was performed. It modifies the verb "alerted" by providing more information about the manner in which the mom alerted her brother. Therefore, it functions as an adverb.

Option 2: as an adjective

An adjective typically modifies a noun or pronoun. In this case, "Yelling loudly" does not describe a noun or pronoun but rather the action of alerting, so it does not function as an adjective.

Option 3: as a verb

A verb indicates an action, state, or occurrence. While "yelling" is a verb in its base form, in this sentence, it is part of a participial phrase that modifies the verb "alerted." Therefore, it does not function as a verb in this context.
