Explanation

“Hace cinco horas que Carlos mira la tele” means “Carlos has been watching television for five hours.” Spanish commonly uses “hace + length of time + que” with the present tense to describe an action that began in the past and is still happening. The other choices use incorrect constructions, such as “tiene sido” or “hace desde.”
