Explanation:


The correct answer is "is watching" because the sentence is in the present continuous tense which is used to describe an action that is currently happening. The present continuous tense is formed by using the auxiliary verb "to be" followed by the present participle (-ing) form of the main verb.


Form:


Subject + auxiliary verb "to be" + present participle (-ing) form of main verb


Example:


I am watching TV


Usage:


The present continuous tense is used to describe an action that is currently happening, or to describe a temporary situation that is happening now. It is not used to describe a permanent situation or a habitual action.


Examples:


My father is watching TV now. (currently happening)


I am studying for my exams this week. (temporary situation)


She is not feeling well today. (temporary situation)


Note:


It is important to note that the present continuous tense is not the same as the present simple tense. The present simple tense is used to describe a permanent situation or a habitual action. The present continuous tense is used to describe a temporary situation or a current action.
