Correct Answer: exploring


Solution : The first option is correct.

The gerund form (-ing form) of the verb should be used to indicate an ongoing or continuous action. In this case, "exploring" is the gerund form of the verb "explore" which correctly conveys the continuous action of the scientists engaging in the activity of exploring new ideas.

Therefore, the correct sentence should be: The scientists are busy exploring new ideas.
