Correct Answer: are looking into the matter


Solution : The correct choice is the second option .

Explanation : In the given sentence, the action is occurring in the present, we generally use the continuous form of the verb "look", i.e., "looking".

The meaning of the phrase "look into" is to peruse, investigate, or examine something. Hence, "into" should be used.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: "The authorities are looking into the matter."
