Explanation:

The use of 'since' in the statement indicates the requirement of present perfect tense. We know the present perfect gives the idea of completion while the present perfect continuous suggests that something is unfinished. In the given statement the issue is still rife, so we need to use present perfect continuous tense i.e. the structure 'has been facing a'.

So, the correct answer is option D.
