Solution

The correct options are
A Wants
D Has been wanting
The lines given are two separate sentences that are talking about Vivek going to the bank to take out money. The first sentence is in the present perfect tense. The next sentence would therefore have to be in the present tense as well. Option D) wants conforms to this condition.
Option B) Has been wanting is also a possible answer since it too is in the 'present' perfect continuous tense.
However, options B and C confer slightly different meanings to the sentence.
