Which sentence correctly avoids using a stative verb in the continuous form?

Explanation

Certain verbs, called stative verbs, describe states rather than actions, such as ‘know,’ ‘believe,’ ‘want,’ and ‘own,’ and these are generally not used in continuous, or ‘-ing,’ forms in standard English. This is why ‘I know the answer’ is correct, while ‘I am knowing the answer’ incorrectly applies the continuous form to a verb that describes a mental state rather than an ongoing action.
