Solution

The correct option is C was moving
Option C is the correct answer because the statement is in the past tense, hence it is correct to say that she jumped off ‘while it ‘was’ moving, as ‘was’ is the past tense of ‘is’.
Option A is incorrect because although it is the past tense, ‘moved’ means that she jumped off the bus after it ‘moved’ which is incorrect because she jumped off “while” it was in motion.
Option B is incorrect for the same reasons as option A
