Solution

The correct option is D Has been raining
The correct answer here is Option D) - 'Has Been Raining'. This is because this phrase satisfies the rules of proper grammatical convention the best and follows the tense of the sentence as well (in this case, present continuous). The answer is has been raining since it is clear that the action of raining started yesterday but is still going on, and thus the present continuous form of the verb is fitting - it is formed by adding the 'ing' form of the verb to have/has + been. All other options are incorrect.
