Dear native English speakers,
Which would be possible in the blank, (a), (b), (c), or (d)?
Which do you like better, __________ or playing tennis?
(a) watching a movie
(b) seeing a movie
(c) watching movies
(d) seeing movies

Are there any differences between them?

Thanks in advance.

They all sound ok to me although "watching movies" is much more natural.

Yes, I would go with the plural options.
