Correct Answer: being


Solution : The correct choice is the third option.

The error is in the use of "being". The correct form is "has not been making", where "been" is the correct past participle to use with "has not". The use of "being" is grammatically incorrect in this context.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: The Dutta company has not been making new school bags since the lockdown commenced.
