jamb 1982english-language

The correct answer is C. is raining

When describing something that is happening currently (the cars stopping), using the present continuous "is raining" makes the most sense here. 

While it may start raining hard in the future, this sentence refers to the present situation causing the cars to stop moving.

So, "is raining" is correct.
