Correct answer: B

Explanation

  1. "Every morning" is a habit, so the simple present is needed: "drinks". The second half, "today she is drinking", is about now.

Worth noting

"Is drinking" is used for today in the second half of the sentence. For the everyday habit, the tense is the simple present.
