Option D is the correct answer because "takes" is used for singular, third person nouns. "how long does it take" is correct because 'does' is also as a singular , third person noun, hence it is correct.
Option A is incorrect because "is it taking" signifies that the statement is being made in the present conversation, which is incorrect.
Option B is incorrect because "took" is the past tense whereas the statement is not made in the past tense.
Option C is incorrect because 'take' is used in plural nouns while the statement is not.
