D. Present perfect

Explicação

## Step 1The sentence given is "Mr. Homer has lived in that house for many years." We need to identify the tense of the verb used in this sentence.## Step 2The verb in this sentence is "has lived". This verb is in the present perfect tense. The present perfect tense is formed by combining the auxiliary verb "has" or "have" with the past participle of the main verb.## Step 3The present perfect tense is used to describe actions that started in the past but continue to the present or have an effect on the present. In this case, Mr. Homer started living in that house in the past and is still living there, which is why the present perfect tense is used.
