Answer 1

Answer: (B)

The verb form is wrong. The correct verb form is-have you been living

Present perfect continuous tense is used to express that an action started in the past, continued to the present time and will / may continue in the future as well. The act of living started in the past, continued till the present, and may continue in the future. Hence, we will use the present perfect continuous tense here. The syntax for present perfect continuous tense is: has / have + been + verb + ing. Therefore, the correct answer is B.
