Correct Answer: I am hearing


Solution : The error lies in the third option.

Explanation: "I am hearing" suggests an ongoing action, but "hear" describes a sense or perception that is not mentioned in the present continuous tense

. Hence, using the simple present tense "hear" in this context is more appropriate.

Therefore, the correct sentence would be: I hear a strange noise now.
