The answer is option D. Present perfect. The present perfect tense indicates an action that started in the past and is still happening now.
For example:
-I have been answering these questions since last weekend.
-We have been living here for 10 years.

Answer:

D) present perfect

Step-by-step explanation:

The present perfect tense refers to an action or state that either happened at an uncertain time previously (e.g., we have talked before) or started before and proceeded to right now (e.g., he has grown impatient over the last hour). This tense is formed by have/has + the past participle.
