An -ing form requires an auxiliary verb, so 'starting' is impossible.

Emphatic 'do' requires a context where it can be, for example, a denial of a negation. There is nothing in the example that shows a negation, so 'does start' is impossible.

What does that leave as the only possibility?

What do I get for 1 point? $100?
