Correct Answer: 3


Solution : The correct choice is the third option.

The sentence describes an ongoing action that started in the past and continues up to the present. The present perfect continuous tense "has been staying" is appropriate in this context.

Therefore, the correct sentence should be: "Mr. Clarke has been staying here since 2005 and has made India his home."
