Verified by Toppr

The first blank specifies something that is happening 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 C and B becomes wrong.
For the second blank it specifies something that would happen in the future and it is relative to the speaker or writer. That is why we would be using simple future tense.
In option D, "Staying" is in present continuous tense instead of simple future tense.
Option A is correct.
