Dwill be waiting

Answer:

B. had been waiting

Read Explanation:

This option uses the past perfect continuous tense ("had been waiting"). The past perfect continuous tenseഭൂതകാലത്തിൽ ആരംഭിച്ചതും ഭൂതകാലത്തിലെ മറ്റൊരു പോയിൻ്റ് വരെ തുടരുന്നതുമായ ഒരു പ്രവർത്തനത്തെ വിവരിക്കാൻ past perfect continuous tense ഉപയോഗിക്കുന്നു. It indicates a duration of time (ദൈർഘ്യത്തെ - 'for over an hour / ഒരു മണിക്കൂറിലധികം' ) അതിനാൽ, 'had been waiting' ആണ് ശരിയായ ഉത്തരം.
