English . . . . . all over the world.

Answer & Solution
Correct Answer: Option D
In this sentence, we need the passive voice because the action is being done to the subject (English).

The passive form of the present tense uses is/are + past participle.

speaks, is speak, and is speaking are all incorrect because they do not follow the correct passive voice construction.

Therefore, the correct answer is is spoken.

(is speaking is incorrect)
"English" is the subject.

"is spoken" is the passive voice of "speak" — because English does not do the speaking, people speak English
