- "Has been travelling" correctly conveys that Hyojeong started travelling at the age of 16 and has continued to do so up until now.
- "Would have travelled" is incorrect because it suggests a hypothetical situation.
- "Have been travelling" is incorrect because the subject "Hyojeong" requires the singular form "has".
- "Will be travelling" is incorrect because it refers to a future event, not something that started in the past.
- The present perfect continuous tense ("has been travelling") is used to talk about actions that started in the past and are still continuing.
- The context of the sentence indicates that Hyojeong started travelling at the age of 16 and continues to do so, making the use of present perfect continuous tense appropriate.
