• A. take / is it taking
  
• B. took / do it takes
  
• C. take / did it take
  
• D. takes / does it take

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

takes / does it take

Option D is the correct answer because "takes" is used for singular, third person nouns. "how long does it take" is correct because 'does' is also as a singular , third person noun, hence it is correct.

Option A is incorrect because "is it taking" signifies that the statement is being made in the present conversation, which is incorrect.

Option B is incorrect because "took" is the past tense whereas the statement is not made in the past tense.

Option C is incorrect because 'take' is used in plural nouns while the statement is not.
