Solution

The correct option is A True
Option A is correct. Consider the following sentence:

They are waiting at the restaurant.

In the above sentence, "waiting" is the present continuous form of the infinitive "to wait". It tells us that "they" are waiting at a restaurant and that this action is continuous; that is, the action started sometime in the past and is continuing into the present, and may continue into the future (in this case, until the listener reaches the restaurant).
