Show answer and solution

Answer: (B) has been living

The adverbial 'since 2015' marks a period that began in the past and continues now, so the present perfect continuous 'has been living' is required. The simple present and present continuous cannot be used with 'since', and the simple past would imply she no longer lives in Pune, which is not intended.
