Detailed Solution

  • As given within the hint, the current perfect represents the consequences of the actions of the past on this situation.
  • The formation of present perfect tense tense- Has/have + past participle/ 3rd style of the verb.
    Example- She has forgotten her book.
  • Here, we will understand that the action of ‘forgetting the book’ began within the past and continues to be continuing within the present.
  • In the given question; X is asking Y about the old bike he bought within the past and remains using it within the present.
    Now, let’s examine the given options-
  • The used verb form isn't correct. Hence, it's an incorrect option.
  • We cannot use an easy tense to precise the accurate meaning of the sentence. Hence, it's an incorrect option.
  • We cannot use simple present to point an action that began within the past. Hence, it's an incorrect option.
  • We use the current perfective to point an action that began within the past and is constant within the present. So, it's the right option.
     

Hence, option D is the correct answer.
