  25. “do” in the question always means an action
  26. What do you enjoy doing? I enjoy having free time. (wrong as an answer to this question, because having free time isn’t an action)

  28. What do you enjoy about retirement? I enjoy having more free time. (okay as an answer to this question, because I’m not asking for an action)
  29.  
  30. *I am having more free time. (wrong, because we don’t use continuous with non-action verbs)
