Hi guys! please help me!
I am studying English grammar and having some troubles with this question:
I hope you to express an opinion about:
When I called them, they didn't answer. They pretended........already:
a. to sleep
b. sleeping
c. having slept
d. to have been sleeping
According to me, both answer A and answer D can be correct but I have never seen structure: to have been sleeping.
So, which one is correct?, Please help me.

Re: English grammar
D.
This is an example of using the present perfect progressive tense.
An action that was continually happening in the past and is still continually happening.
