Solution

The correct option is
C
have been working since; am not as tired; take some rest

The correct answer is Option C. In Mom's dialogue it is implied that the son is still working but she started in the morning. The tense to be used here is Present Perfect Continuous Tense. Since the son is talking about the present time, Present Indefinite Tense is the correct option. He is going to take some rest a while after, so, the Future Indefinite Tense makes sense here.
