A resposta é a letra C.
A) I would have already been working for the company during 5 years.
Essa frase não se encaixa por causa do tempo verbo.... Essa construção é usada para falar de eventos do passado que não aconteceram.
B) I have already been working for the company during 5 years.
Acredito que essa está errada por causa do tempo verbal, a frase citada está no passado, logo a outra deve estar no passado continuos. Eu nunca usei during, sempre usei for..
C) I had already been working for the company for 5 years.
Acredito que essa seja a resposta.
D) I was already working for the company durning 5 years
Essa letra está errada porque o presente contínuos é uma ação no passado e não tem relação com futuro.
Alternative C.
This sentence describes an action in a recent past (Patrick joined the company) and another action that happened in a distant past (I had already been working for the company for 5 years).
All in all, you should use the past perfect (had + past participle) to describe an action that happened before another action in the past (past simple).
