    Rina has great painting skills as it is being practised it since she was four years old.
    Solutions
    The use of ‘since’ signifies that the highlighted portion should be in perfect continuous tense. It is also present perfect continuous tense because there are two points of time i.e. ‘Today’ and “the age of 4’’. “She has been practising” is the correct present perfect continuous (passive) form to use here. Hence, option B is the correct answer.
