The translation of the conversation is:

- Alex: What are you doing, Lupe?

- Lupe: I am studying mathematics.

When it is required to mention actions that are being executed at the moment in question, continuous-time or progressive tense is used, whose characteristics in Spanish are:

  1. It contains some form of the verb "estar" as estoy, estás, está, estamos, están.
  2. The main verb finishes in "ando" or "endo."

Since all options are conjugations of the verb to study conjugates for different people or personal pronouns and only one option in continuous time, the correct option is "estudiando" which ends in "ando."
