(Trung tâm thương mại cũ đã bị phá sập và xây mới lại hoàn toàn, và những trung tâm mua sắm mới đang cạnh tranh để thu hút người mua hàng với chất lượng dịch vụ và hàng hoá cao.)
=> Xét nghĩa, ta chọn A vì nó diễn tả hành động đang diễn ra theo trào lưu tại thời điểm nói => Thì hiện tại tiếp diễn: be + Ving

knock down st: phá sập, bãi bỏ cái gì
