Answer:
Well, I can't quite determine if you mean for this to be a trick question or if you are serious.
I say that because technically speaking, A and C show future tense, while B and D show past tense.
Of all the options, A is the best one to represent the present tense. While it certainly <u><em>can</em></u> represent the present tense, it does a much better job at representing the future tense. Yes, really. Let me give you some other examples so you'll see what I mean.....
Explanation:
Today, I'm leaving for Paris on the 4:00 p.m. flight. = future tense
Today, the army is sending me to boot camp. = future tense
.......................
I should add....
If you were to say: "Today, I'm babysitting my nephew." --- <u><em>and you said it at the moment that you are in the house next to your nephew</em></u> -- then, THAT would be present tense.
In this example, we're talking about an action that is happening at the moment of speaking unlike option A above which refers to an action that hasn't happened yet.
Have you got it??

Answer:
B. The scandal contributes to the characterization of Stalin as anti-Semitic and a continued supporter of the former Nazi Germany.
Explanation:
"The Doctors' Plot" shows how Stalin intended to execute the arrest of 15 Jewish doctors. These doctors were big names in medicine at the time and everyone was involved in the treatment of the diseases that Stalin had. However, Stalin showed no improvement and began to accuse the doctors of poisoning, even without any proof that this was really happening. This shows how Stalin maintained an anti-Semitic sentiment and supported the concepts raised by former Soviet Germany in relation to Jews.
