Solution

The correct option is D will have been searching
The future perfect continuous indicates an action that will continue up until a certain point in the future. It usually follows the pattern will + have + been + verb's present participle (root verb + -ing).

Option A is correct as it follows the construction of future perfect continuous tense, that is, "will have been living".

Option B is incorrect since "will be driving" is future continuous and not future perfect continuous. Future continuous consists of will + be + verb's present participle (root verb + -ing).

Option C is incorrect as it does not contain the required conjugation will + have + been.

Option D is incorrect as "will have searched" is future perfect, not future perfect continuous.
