We use the present continuous tense with normal verbs to express the idea that something is happening now, at this very moment. It can also be used to show that something is not happening now. Here, the action of being selfish is happening now. The present continuous is formed using am/is/are + present participle.(root verb+ing). Hence, Option C is correct.
The rest of the options either indicate that the action has already happened (Option A) or that the action will happen in distant and indefinite future (Option B). Option D: 'Is' and 'be' don't go together because 'is' itself' is a form of 'be', 'to be'.
Hence these options are incorrect.
