Option 3 is the correct answer because, 'overseeing' means 'supervising (a person or their work), especially in an official capacity'. The verb 'supporting' suggests that the next verb must also be in progressive form to form the parallelism.

Let us take an example to understand it better:

  • My mother is helping my brother in completing his homework.

Option 1 is wrong because, first form of verb is given which doesn't form a balance with the verb 'supporting'.

Option 2 is wrong because, participle form is given.

Option 4 is wrong because, second form of verb is given.
