A Correct answer
Explanation

Option A 'is he' is correct. In English wh-questions (questions beginning with wh- words like 'why', 'what', 'where'), we use subject-auxiliary inversion: the auxiliary verb comes before the subject. The correct structure is 'Why is he late?' Option B lacks inversion. Option C uses continuous unnecessarily. Option D uses past tense 'was' which doesn't match the habitual present meaning.
