Respuesta :
The correct answer is perfect.
Perfect tenses (past perfect and present perfect) can show us actions that take place at the same time, but are not continuous. Since the sentence says 'noncontinuous,' we can immediately eliminate 'progressive' and 'perfect progressive' tenses, since they are continuous. Simple tense does not tell us whether or not the actions are continuous, so that is also wrong.

Further Explanation:
The perfect form refers to the tense which is intended to point out the action or condition which has been completed or 'perfected'. The perfect form of the verb appears in three tenses which are present perfect tense, past perfect tense and future perfect tense. The auxiliary verb 'have' or 'had' is used to make the perfect form of verbs. They are added to the past participle form of the verb to complete the tense. The perfect form of the verb always signifies the action which has been completed.
In the present perfect tense, the action has occurred in the past but it has some relation with the present. The accurate time at which the action achieved its completion is unknown. The present perfect tense is formed when 'have' or 'has' is added to the past participle.
Past perfect tenses are used to indicate the actions which have just been completed at some point in the past. The past perfect tense is formed by adding 'had' to the past participle.
Future perfect tense points towards an action which will have been 'perfected' or completed at some time in the coming future. A future perfect tense is formed by adding 'will', 'have' and a past participle of the verb together.
