Answer:

present progressive

Step-by-step explanation:

In English, there are several ways to express present tense.

In few words, we can express a fact, an opinion, a statement etc.

Basic present (present simple) expresses a known fact or an everyday routine.

Emphatic present is just adding the auxillary verb "do/does" before the present simple verb

Present progressive is used to express an action occuring at the moment of speaking.

Present perfect denotes an action that happened in the past but it affects the present.

So, now,we can conclude that present progressive is the best fitting answer.
