    Present Indefinite

    B.

    Present Continuous

    C.

    Present Perfect

    D.

    Past Perfect

    Correct option is B

    Explanation:

    The correct answer is Present Continuous.

    The Present Progressive Tense, also known as the Present Continuous Tense, describes actions that are happening at the moment of speaking or actions that are ongoing.

    It is formed by using am/is/are + verb-ing. For example, "She is reading a book."

    Information Booster:

    The Present Continuous Tense (also called the Present Progressive Tense) is used for:

    Actions happening right now: "I am studying English."

    Temporary actions: "She is staying with her friends this week."

    Ongoing actions or trends: "People are using smartphones more than ever."

    It uses the structure am/is/are + verb-ing to indicate an action in progress.

    The term "Progressive" refers to the ongoing nature of the action.

    Additional Knowledge:

    Present Indefinite: The Present Indefinite Tense (or Simple Present) is used to describe habitual actions, general truths, or repeated actions, not actions happening at the moment of speaking. Example: "She reads books."

    Present Perfect: The Present Perfect Tense is used to describe actions that have been completed at an unspecified time in the past or actions that have relevance to the present. Example: "I have finished my homework."

    Past Perfect: The Past Perfect Tense is used to describe actions that were completed before another past action. It uses the structure had + past participle (e.g., "I had eaten before you arrived").
