Reading titles and headings, and trying to get an overview of what lies ahead in a reading passage is called: A. questioning. B. relating. C. surveying. D. reciting.

This would be surveying!

The other options are:

reciting and relating both have to do with re-telling the story to someone else. Reciting would be re-telling the story literately and relating would be rephrasing it.

Questioning means that you want to wonder whether the source is reliable and the story true.
