The verb before the blank is the auxiliary past tense verb 'had'. So the tense of the sentence either becomes past perfect, which exists in the form of had + past participle form of the verb or past perfect continuous, for which the rule is had + been + verb in continuous form (-ing). Option 4 shows past perfect continuous tense, so it must be correct. Therefore, the correct answer is option 4.
