Correct Answer: 1

Solution : The correct choice is the first option.

The phrase is being seeping , should be replaced with is seeping to convey the intended meaning that gas is leaking out of the rocks.
Is being seeping is grammatically incorrect. Is seeping uses the present continuous tense, which is appropriate for describing the ongoing action. Moreover, seeping is an intransitive verb and does not need a direct object.
The second and third options are grammatically incorrect.

Therefore, the correct sentence should be: "The gas is seeping out of the rocks."
