Solution

The correct option is A is dictating
The answer is A. Is dictating
Reason- The sentence begins with cannot which introduces the present tense of the sentence. The verb is dictating is in present continuous tense
Was dictating refers to past dictation of letters
Has been dictating imposes that boss has been dictating the letters for a long time.
Has dictated implies that the work has been completed just now. SO, the other options are wrong.
