Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
The word "ever since" indicates a past event that has continued into the present, so the first blank should have a past tense verb. The second blank requires a present perfect verb to describe an action that started in the past and is ongoing. Therefore, only choice C, "was, has spent," is correct.
