Correct Answer: had known
Solution : The third option is the correct answer.
The use of was knowing in the original sentence is grammatically incorrect. In English, the past perfect tense is appropriate for actions that occurred before another action in the past.
So, had known, is the correct past perfect form in this context, indicating that her knowledge of her preceded the action of getting married.
Correct sentence: He had known her for a long time before he finally married her.
