Present continuous tense is used to describe an action or event that is going on in the present. The given sentence is a question about work being done by the speaker during the present time. Hence, the tense is present continuous. The syntax for present continuous tense (in interrogation) is:
is/am/are + subject + verb (ing). 'You' is an exceptional case which takes the plural form 'are'. Therefore, the correct option is: Are you doing.
