In this case, Monica has been planning something since last week, and she is still planning it now.<\/p>\n<p>The other options are incorrect because they do not express the continuous aspect of the action. Option A, did plan, is in the simple past tense, which is used to talk about an action that happened at a specific time in the past. Option C, had been planning, is in the past perfect continuous tense, which is used to talk about an action that started and ended in the past.
