Correct Answer: has been waiting


Solution : The correct choice is the second option.

Explanation:
The reason for this choice is that the sentence is describing an ongoing action that started in the past and is still continuing in the present. The present perfect continuous tense "has been waiting" correctly expresses this continuous action that began in the past and has relevance to the present moment.

Therefore, the correct sentence would be: "She has been waiting for you for two hours."
