Present Perfect continuous tense (has not been) should be used here because the action is still going on.
We are left with option C & D now. In Option C would is used. Would is used only when we are talking about future in the past or talking about hypothetical condition. None of the two cases are applicable here. Here sentence is talking about future action. Hence, will should be used here.
So, option D is the correct answer.
