g) Listen! They are singing your favourite song. (Present Continuous)
Explicación:
La mejor forma de saber si la respuesta debe ir en forma Simple o Continua es basándose en el contexto, es decir, el resto de la frase, intentando resolverlo mentalmente de ambas maneras y eligiendo la que suena (más) coherente.
Por ejemplo:
[1] a) Shhhh! Be quiet! John is sleeping. (Present Continuous)
[2] a) Shhhh! Be quiet! John sleeps. (Present Simple)
En este caso, la que suena más coherente (especialmente en inglés) es la que esta en forma Continua.
Espero que te sea de ayuda tanto la respuesta como la explicación. :D
