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.
Thanks so much.

Re: English grammar
None is acceptable.
The idiomatic answer would be 'to be sleeping'.
