Step-by-step explanation:

The Simple present perfect tense is characterized as the tense that is employed to indicate a completed action that started in the past and bears its consequences in the present. It is framed using the auxiliary 'to have'(indicates present consequences) + past participle form of the verb.

While present perfect progressive tense is primarily employed to express the actions that began in the past and is continued until the present moment. It helps in highlighting the duration for which the action has been occurring. It is framed using 'have been + V1 + ing + since/for + time.'
