- A. Study
- B. Am studying
- C. Have been studying

'Have been' suggests an action that started in the past, but continues in the present. Am studying: This option is also in the present tense and doesn't match the time frame mentioned. It also implies that the action is still ongoing, which may not be the case.Studied: This option is in the past tense, which does not indicate that the action started in the past and continues up to the present moment, as the sentence implies.
