C Correct answer
Explanation

The subject 'They' is plural, so we use the plural auxiliary verb 'are' with the present continuous form 'taking'. Present continuous tense is used for actions happening now or around the present time, which fits with 'today'. 'Takes' would be simple present, 'is taking' has the wrong auxiliary for a plural subject, and 'has written' is present perfect and the wrong verb.
