This question was previously asked in
UPTET 2026 Paper 2 Social Studies Question Paper (3-Jul-2026) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

Verb

In the sentence "The students are studying for the exam," the underlined word "studying" expresses the action being performed by the subject "students."

Since "are studying" forms the present continuous tense, the word "studying" functions as a verb describing an ongoing action.

It does not replace a noun, describe a noun, or modify a verb or adjective, so it cannot be a pronoun, adjective, or adverb.

Therefore, the underlined word "studying" is a verb.
