When we say 'By Next month, blah blah..', our intent is to say something has startd in past and by specified time in future(next month or hour or year) that work or thing will be completed that much only. So only future perfect progressive makes sense in such case.

I know i am not good at explaining the things.
I hope below link will help.

B is the correct answer.
we use perfect continuous tense for for/since.
Hence it should be will have been.
Will is used in place of would because it is talking about the future in the present.
If you've liked my post, let me know by pressing the thanks button.
