grammar - "Stopped talking" and "stopped to talk"


picture of a practice exercise


In this exercise:




Ali stopped _____ to his friend. He talked to him then.
a) talk
b) talking (I chose this one)
c) to talk (This one is marked as the correct answer)
d) being talked

I understand the meanings of talk and stop so I don't understand why one is wrong and the other correct.
