Answer 2

The correct sentence is: Why are you cooking food today?

Answer: Option (1)

Explanation:

The word today specifies a particular time. The sentence doesn't correlate two periods of time. Hence have been cooking is not possible and option (3) stands incorrect. A progressive action is being done today.  

So the present continuous tense has been used in this case. Option (2) is ruled out as it refers to a sense of prolonged action being done for a long time and is being repeated today also. Thus “Why are you cooking food today?” is a correct sentence.
