Select the most appropriate option that can substitute the highlighted words.
The people who live here have had the same kind of lifestyle until hundreds of years.

Correct option is B

The correct substitution of the highlighted phrase is (b) for hundreds of years.
Explanation:
“For + time period” is used to express duration. “Since” needs a specific point in time, not a period like "hundreds of years".
Grammatical Rule Used:
Use “for” with a duration of time and “since” with a starting point in time.
Example:
Incorrect: He has lived here since five years.
Correct: He has lived here for five years.
�� Information Booster:
Common error: mixing up “for” and “since” – remember: for = duration, since = starting point.
