Explanation:
Subject-Verb Agreement:
In this sentence, the subject "you" is paired with the verb "are drinking," which is the correct form for the present continuous tense.
Correct Answer:
The correct answer is option C: "are you drinking."
Reasoning:
When forming questions in English, the verb "to be" (in this case, "are") is typically placed before the subject ("you"). The verb "drinking" is in the present continuous tense, indicating an action that is currently happening.
Incorrect Options:
- Option A: "do you drinking" is incorrect because "do" is not the correct auxiliary verb to use in this context.

In conclusion, the correct form for the question "What are you drinking? It looks awful." is "are you drinking."
