Solution

The correct option is A had been working
Option B is correct. The past perfect continuous is written as had + been + present participle (base verb + -ing). Therefore, the past perfect continuous of the infinitive "to work" is "had been working".

Option A is incorrect as it is in past continuous.

option C is incorrect as it is in past simple.

Option D is incorrect as it is in past perfect.
