C Correct answer
Explanation

The present continuous passive 'are being hunted' matches the auxiliary verb 'are' in the question. Option A 'hunted' would create 'are hunted' (present simple passive, doesn't fit the progressive sense). Option B 'were hunted' and D 'were being hunted' use 'were' which contradicts 'are'.
