I have no clue about the difference between "have p.p" and "have been -ing".
Could you please explain the difference in detail to me..?

======

I keep telling everyone that whose fault it was and everyone keeps asking me a lot of questions regarding that.

I started telling the fact a few weeks ago.
Since then, everyone keeps asking me questions.

=======

a) Although I`ve been telling everyone that it was his fault, I have been being asked a lot of questions as to whose fault it was.

b) Although I`ve been telling everyone that it was his fault, I have been asked a lot of questions as to whose fault it was.

c) Although I`ve told everyone that it was his fault, I have been asked a lot of questions as to whose fault it was.

d) Although I`ve been telling them that it was his fault, they have been asking me whose fault it was.

e) Although I`ve told them that it was his fault, they have asked me whose fault it was.

Out of (a)~(d) which sentence represents my intention better?
Please help me...

Usage of Have and a P.P following it conveys an action which has happened in the past. It does not have any continuation at present.

e.g., I have told you already. I wonder how you forgot! (The message was conveyed in the past but once or may be a few times.)

But usage of Have + been + present continuous is something which happened in the
past and it still continue to happen in the present.

e.g., I have been telling you since your day one, but you don't seem to follow the rule. (Started in the past and continuing in the present.)
