B.

i thank its c but iam not sure

Answer 1

The answer is C. Hummingbirds are hovering over the geraniums while caterpillars munched leaves.

Answer 2

You would be correct in thinking it is C.

The reason for this is because the verb hovering is in present tense, but the verb munched is in past tense.

Good Job!
