Correct Answer: They are firing the canons continuously.
Solution : The second option is correct.
Active voice is the voice where the subject performs the action. When transforming a sentence from the passive voice to the active voice, the subject ( they in this case) performs the action.
The structure of the active sentence in the case of the present continuous tense is: Subject + are + gerund form of the verb + object + adverb.
Therefore, the active sentence is: They are firing the canons continuously.
