Correct Answer: has been steadily
Solution : The correct choice is the first option .
Explanation:
The original sentence has a grammatical error in the adverb, steady . The adverb steady should be modified to its adverbial form steadily to correctly describe the manner in which the action is taking place. Additionally, the present participle, increasing, should be modified to steadily increasing to maintain the correct tense (present perfect continuous) and convey that the increase is happening steadily over a period of time.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: The number of women working outside homes has been steadily increasing.
