Option A makes the correct use of adverb ‘now’. Now is adverb of time and answers the question when. It is placed after the verb or the object. ‘Now’ means present time, at this moment or very soon. It is usually put in end position. ’Now’ used in mid position as used in option B and C expresses a change as a result of something. ‘Now’ in beginning as in option D represents instructions.
