Thanks Clive for your reply. Your answer is correct. But can you tell me what led you to the answer? I know you have mentioned it sounds right. But to me the 4th option "to extend" also sounded right. How can I choose the most correct answer?

Hi,
All I can really say is this.
We can use 'regard' in various ways, such as these.
We say You regard something as a noun, eg You regard this as a surprise.
We say You regard something as participle, eg You regard this as surprising..
We don't say You regard this infinitive, eg You regard this to annoy.
