A rolling stone gathers no moss is an old proverb, so option C is correct.

We generally collect information but a stone gathers moss (avalanche). Also, accumulates is not correct because we use it scenarios when the object is still (stone accumulates dust over time). Thus collects is the answer.

It is English proverb.
The meaning is " A person who does not settle in one place will not accumulate wealth or status, or responsibilities or commitments".
