Correct Answer: have you been


Solution : The first option is the correct answer.

When asking about the duration of a current state (in this case, being married) , we use the present perfect continuous tense. So, the correct form is, have you been.
This structure indicates an ongoing action or state that started in the past and continues into the present, which is suitable for discussing the duration of a marriage.

Therefore, the correct sentence should be: How long have you been married?
