C Correct answer
Explanation

The present continuous tense 'is wearing' is correct here because it describes something happening at the present moment. The speaker is observing what the person is currently wearing. 'Wear' is present simple but not appropriate for this context, 'would wear' is conditional, and 'was wear' is grammatically incorrect.
