Explanation:

- Option 1: "was" - This suggests a past action that is not ongoing, which doesn't fit with "for the past three years."

- Option 2: "have" - This is incomplete for expressing a continuous action over time.

- Option 3: "have been" - This is correct for expressing an action that started in the past and continues to the present, matching "for the past three years."

- Option 4: "had been" - This is past perfect continuous, implying the action was completed in the past, which doesn't align with the ongoing context.

Option 3 is the correct choice
