Correct Answer: I am being really busy


Solution : The correct choice is the second option.

The use of being in this context is unnecessary. Instead, we can simply say I am really busy to convey the same meaning. The continuous form "am being" is used when describing a temporary or ongoing action, and it doesn't fit well in this situation.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: "I can't talk right now; I am really busy. I'll call you later."
