are being read
Its A-read as it tells present simpe
D. are read. There is no hint at a temporary or progressive action, but rather at the aunt's general habit. So, the present simple in the passive voice must be used.
Pardon me, didn't pay attention to the second part of the sentence, it's B - are being read (passive voice)
A - read. "every night" signifies present simple tense
