Answer 1

Answer: (C)

does your father do ........ isn't working

The first statement is an interrogation about the present activity of 'your father' - routine / regular activities / actions are described using simple present tense. The syntax of simple present tense is: Verb in its first form (s/es) (with singular subject)/Verb in its first form (with plural subject)

The second statement explains about the current activity of 'the father'. It is indicated by present continuous tense. The syntax of present continuous tense is : is/am/are + verb (ing) . Therefore the correct answer is: does your father do..... isn't working
