Correct Answer: for
 


Solution : The correct answer is option 2.

Explanation:

'For' is the best response to the provided 
The given sentence is an illustration of the present perfect continuous tense, as we are aware.
- When referring to a period of time or space, the preposition "for" is used. The duration could be measured in fractions of a second, minutes, hours, days, months, or even years.
- There is no requirement that the duration be exact. When discussing ambiguous time periods, such as "for the weekend," "for ages," or "for a long time," we can use the preposition "for."
Option 2 is the right response, so.
