A
has been waiting
💡 Explanation:
'Jaya has been waiting for Mohini for more than two hours' uses present perfect continuous tense, which correctly describes an action that started in the past and continues up to the present. The time marker 'for more than two hours' (duration up to now) requires this tense. Simple past 'waited' would mean the action is complete, which doesn't fit the ongoing nature implied.
