Correct Answer: have arrived
Solution : The correct choice is the second option.
The original sentence suggests a chronological order of events, with the guests arriving first and then sitting in the garden and thus, the previous action has relevance to the following action. Therefore, have arrived is more appropriate than the simple past tense "arrived".
So, the correct sentence is: Our guests have arrived ; they are sitting in the garden.
