The first blank specifies a regular action which makes it simple present tense whereas the second blank specifies something that is happening in the present different from the regular one that is why we are supposed to use the present continuous (also called present progressive). It is a verb tense which is used to show that an ongoing action is happening now, either at the moment of speech or now in a larger sense. The present continuous can also be used to show that an action is going to take place in the near future. It ends in"-ing".
Thus Option A and D becomes wrong.
In option B, "finishing" is a present continuous tense whereas it is supposed to be simple present tense, it is the wrong option.
Option C is correct.
