You tell people something hard to believe and they smile back at you. You think they don't believe what you said. So you say:

  1. Do you think I am lying?

  2. Are you not believing me?

  3. Don't you believe me?

  4. Are you thinking that I am lying?

A,C Correct answer
Explanation

When challenging someone's disbelief, 'Do you think I am lying?' is direct and natural. 'Don't you believe me?' is also correct and challenges their doubt. 'Are you not believing me' (present continuous) is unnatural - belief is a state, not an ongoing action. 'Are you thinking that I am lying' is unnecessarily wordy.
