The correct answers are have been trying and have been watching.
We use the Present Perfect Continuous (has/have + been + verb-ing) to talk about actions that started in the past and are still continuing right now.
Words like for (for three hours) and all morning are strong clues that emphasize the length of time an ongoing activity has lasted!
