Solution

The correct option to complete the sentence is (b) have been listening.

The sentence would read: "The boys have been listening to my lecture since 8 O’clock this morning."

This is because the action started in the past and is still ongoing, which is indicated by the use of "since". The present perfect continuous tense (have/has been + present participle) is used to show that something started in the past and is continuing at the present time.
