Yes, "have jumped" is the correct form of the verb in parentheses. In this sentence, the verb "jump" needs to be in the present perfect tense because it is referring to an action that started in the past and is still ongoing or has just been completed. The present perfect tense is formed by using the auxiliary verb "have" (in this case, "have") followed by the past participle of the main verb (in this case, "jumped"). So, in order to correctly fill in the blank, the sentence becomes "Now the porpoises have jumped over three buoys."
