Because this is a subject of verb tenses, we focus on the verbs used in the given sentence. That would be 'takes'. To know which verb tense this is, let us examine each of the choices.
Present: Present tense verbs are expressed in their basic forms such as help, take, give, type, etc.
Present emphatic: This verb tense is used to give emphasis. It's hint word is the word 'does'. For example: She does take her dog to walk first thing in the morning.
Present progressive: This is written as 'is' + 'verb-ing' or 'are' + 'verb-ing'. For example: She is taking her dog for a walk.
Present perfect: This is written as 'has' or 'have' + past participle of the verb. For example: She has taken the dog for a walk.
So, from the descriptions, the sentence must be in simple present tense.

While walking the shore
At dusk one day
I saw a mist
of silver spray
Two creatures glided
through churning foam
to splash and play
before the gloam
As silent as death
mysterious as night
slipping through
the fading light
I watched them as
they passed from sight
a host of dolphins
in the pale moonlight

"Students"
I believe "Eigth-grade" is an adjective of sorts or a category, but it might also be part of the subject.
