Solution
The correct option is B haven't smoked
Option D Ian the correct answer because ‘haven’t’ mean a to not cause something to happen or someone to not do something, in this case smoking. Option B is incorrect because ‘hadn’t ‘ smoked for years means that he didn’t smoke for the past few years but he might be smoking now. Option C is incorrect because ‘I isn’t smoking’ is incorrect as 1- I ain’t smoking would be more appropriate, and 2- isn’t smoking involves only the present, and doesn’t include the past few years.
