Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 1. i.e. for
The word ‘since’ is used to refer to a time (an action that begun in the past and is still continuing).
Example: We have been married since 1996.
The word ‘for’ is used to show a period of time, in the past, present or future. It is used as a preposition.
Example: I was waiting for an hour.
Therefore the correct option will be "for".
