Answer : 1. "has started bring"
Explanation :

If a verb requires an object after it, it is a transitive verb.
If a verb doesn't require an object after it, it is an intransitive verb.
For example:
The girls carry water to their village. (transitive verb) A light was shining. (intransitive verb)
There are certain verbs that are used in a particular pattern given below:
Subject + verb + noun/pronoun + present participle(-ing form).
Some of the verbs are given below:
Hate/love, stop/start, finish, enjoy, prefer, keep, rest, worth, propose, regret, etc.
Example: She hates going out in the night.
According to the rule and the example given above, 'has started bringing' will be used instead of 'has started bring' in the 2nd part of the sentence.
