Hi,

just add the option ToPaVe->True to TID.

MBOX = ChangeDimension[(1/(16 Pi^4)) TID[integrandBOX, k,
      UsePaVeBasis -> True, ToPaVe -> True], 4] // Simplify

that's all. ToPaVe is also a separate function

?ToPaVe

ToPaVe[expr,q] converts all the scalar 1-loop integrals that depend on
the momentum q to scalar Passarino Veltman functions A0, B0, C0, D0 etc.

Cheers,
Vladyslav
