A Correct answer
Explanation

The context suggests a current ongoing action, and option A 'is now trying' in present continuous tense best fits this. While the sentence alone is ambiguous without more context, 'is now trying' indicates an active current effort. 'Tried' is simple past, 'was trying' is past continuous, and 'has now been trying' would suggest longer duration. Present continuous is most likely.
