Solution

The correct option is D Hasn't been able to
The given sentence talks about an event that began in the past and is continuing in the present.

Present perfect tense describes an action that happened at an indefinite time in the past or that began in the past and continues in the present. This tense is formed by using “has/have” or "has/have been" with the past form of the verb. Most past verb forms end in “-ed”. Irregular verbs have special past forms that must be memorized. For example - I have read so many books I can’t keep count.

Options B and C are in the wrong format, while in option A can't should not be used as it is in simple present form and 'since last week' in the sentence indicates the use of present perfect form. Therefore option D is incorrect.

Option D is the correct answer.
