Solution

The correct option is B am learning ........... is teaching
The first and second blank specifies something that is happening that is why we are supposed to use the present continuous (also called present progressive). It is a verb tense which is used to show that an ongoing action is happening now, either at the moment of speech or now in a larger sense. The present continuous can also be used to show that an action is going to take place in the near future. It ends in"-ing".
Thus Option C and A becomes wrong.
In option D, "Was" is in the past tense which makes it past continuous. It is the wrong option.
Option B is correct.
