Correct Answer: have told us


Solution : The second option is the correct answer.

The use of "have told us" is grammatically correct because it aligns with the past perfect tense. The past perfect tense is formed using the auxiliary verb "have" with the past participle of the main verb. In this case, "told" is the past participle of "tell".
