The sentence given talks about an action that is continuing from the past into the present i.e till now.
Options B) and D) are both past tense phrases.
Option C) are living would have been correct had the sentence not mentioned 'since'. 'Since' indicates that the action is still continuing in the present. Hence, we need to use Present Perfect Continuous Tense. So the answer is 'have been living'.
