The definition of a verb in the present tense is as follows:

A verb in the present tense is a verb that tells us that the action is happening now. Therefore, the following sentences contain a verb in the present tense:
A - Jessica enjoys running.
C - They are walking around the lake.

Both B (We left early) and D (Grandma had sent us cookies) contain verbs in the past tense i.e. the action has already taken place. An example of a verb in the future tense is:The cat is going to eat her dinner.

Answer:

C. They are walking around the lake.
