Which of the following best explains the structure of “gustar”?

“Gustar” is structured more like the English phrase “to be pleasing to” than “to like.” The thing a person likes is the grammatical subject, and the person who likes it is represented by an indirect object pronoun. For example, “Me gusta el libro” literally means “The book is pleasing to me,” so choice A is correct.
