Answer 1

The most correct answer would be(....my opinion I am no Mr.KnowItAll....)(*drum roll* for fun).......D it makes the most sense and fits the description of a present perfect progressive! Here what it would sound like: she/he has been sleeping. and here is an example of a present progressive: She has been running. (see? their mostly the same)


To help here is also how to find a present perfect progressive: The PRESENT PERFECT PROGRESSIVE TENSE indicates a continuous action that has been finished at some point in the past or that was initiated in the past and continues to happen. The action is usually of limited duration and has some current relevance: "She has been running and her heart is still beating fast." The present perfect progressive frequently is used to describe an event of the recent past; it is often accompanied by just in this usage: "It has just been raining."
This tense is formed with the modal "HAVE" or "HAS" (for third-person singular subjects) plus "BEEN," plus the present participle of the verb (with an -ing ending): "I have been working in the garden all morning. George has been painting that house for as long as I can remember."
