Answer 1

The correct option is A The verb used in the sentence is correct.

The present continuous tense is formed with the subject plus the present particle form (-ing) of the main verb and the present continuous tense of the verb to be: am, is, are.

The present continuous tense is a grammatical tense that can be used to describe when an action happened, or may happen. You can use it to describe both events that are happening in the present – right now, while you are talking about something, or in the future – something that may or will happen later on.

For this particular sentence, a specification has been made about something that is about to happen which is present continuous tense and the verb form is also in the right order.

Option A is correct.
