I would disagree. To read would be considered an infinitive.  The reason why I think the answer is infinitive is because, I know in Spanish, which is similar to English, to do something ( to read) it was always considered an infinitive. It's an action verb. It's not d because there are no other words following the to read. Hopefully this makes more sense.
