A Correct answer
Explanation

The sentence is in present perfect progressive tense. 'Have been' is used for first or second person. 'Rise' is in present tense. 'Rose' cannot be followed by since. 'Has been verb+ing' is used for singular (third person or object) form. So, option 1 is the correct answer.
