Erläuterung
The correct expression is "used to" followed by the gerund form of the verb when expressing familiarity or habit. In this case, the sentence is describing a habit or routine, so the appropriate construction is "used to + gerund."
Therefore, Option D, "to eating," is the correct choice as it follows the correct structure for expressing familiarity or habit.
