Which sentence correctly handles a stative verb in the present perfect continuous context?
Explanation
'Know' is a stative verb — it cannot be used in any continuous form. Even for duration, use present perfect: 'She has known him for years.'

Hint
With stative verbs (know, like, love, believe), use present perfect — not present perfect continuous.
