Discussion
Choose the most appropriate option to fill in the blank in the given sentence.
You're out of breath. __________ ?
Answer: C
The correct option is Have you been running?
The present perfect continuous describes an activity that has recently been going on and whose effect is visible now. Being out of breath is the present result of running just before, so 'Have you been running?' fits.
'Are you running?' asks about this very moment, which is odd when the person has stopped. 'Have you run?' stresses a completed action rather than the activity. 'You had been running' is past perfect and is not a question.
