- C. had been living is in the past perfect progressive tense. This tense is used to talk about something that was happening before another event in the past. In this sentence, there is no other event in the past that Orthrozanclus was living before.
- D. has been living is in the present perfect tense. This tense is used to talk about something that started in the past and continues to the present. In this sentence, Orthrozanclus is not living now, so this tense is not correct.
