    • A.

      Past tense

    • B.

      Present tense

    • C.

      Present perfect tense

    Correct Answer
    C. Present perfect tense
    Explanation
    The sentence "I have never really enjoyed doing quizzes" is in the present perfect tense. This tense is formed by using the auxiliary verb "have" followed by the past participle of the main verb. In this case, "have" is used in the present tense and "enjoyed" is the past participle of "enjoy." The present perfect tense is used to talk about past actions or experiences that have a connection to the present. In this sentence, the speaker is referring to their past experiences of not enjoying quizzes, which is still relevant to their current feelings.
