The correct answer is D. Everyone is going to the baseball game.

Helping verbs are verbs such as to be, to have, etc. which are used to form various past and future tenses in the English language. So, in option D, the helping verb is IS and it is used to form present continuous tense - IS GOING.

The other options only have simple verbs, meaning that there are no helping verbs.
