"Since" in the sentence indicates the present perfect tense. In the present perfect tense, we use the helping verb has/have been + the ing form of the verb (present participle).
This option does not have the helping verb, hence it is incorrect.
As this option has both the helping verb and the ‘ing’ form of verb (present participle), this option is correct.
This option uses the first form of the verb, so it is incorrect.
This option uses the second form of the verb, so it is incorrect.
