1. They ………… in this house since 2015.

  • A. had lived
  • B. had lived
  • C. had lived
  • D. had lived

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

The phrase "since 2015" indicates that the action of living in the house started in 2015 and continues to the present. The present perfect continuous tense ("have been living") is used to describe an action that started in the past and is still ongoing. 
Why other options are incorrect:
  •  had lived: This is the past perfect tense, which describes an action that happened in the past and is now finished. It doesn't imply that the action continues to the present. 
  •  living: This is the present continuous tense, which describes an action happening now. It doesn't specify when the action began.
  •  have lived: This is the present perfect tense, but it doesn't convey the ongoing nature of the action. The present perfect continuous ("have been living") is more appropriate for actions that continue from a specific starting point.
