- A(a)
- B(b)
- C(c)
- D(d) No error
Explanation
With 'for the past three hours' describing an action continuing to the present, the present perfect continuous is required: 'I have been playing basketball'. The simple present perfect 'have played' in (a) is the error. Thus the correct choice is (A) "(a)".
