Answer 1

Answer: (B)

grows

Option B is the correct answer because ‘grows’ means in the present continuous form, it used to grow and still grows, hence it is correct.

Option A is incorrect because it means it is growing only in the present which is not right.

Option C is incorrect because ‘has grown’ is in past continuous tense, but statement is in present continuous tense.
