"sorry for confusing you" vs "sorry for confused you"

The correct phrase is 'sorry for confusing you.' The verb 'confusing' should be in the present participle form to indicate that the action is ongoing or continuous. 'Sorry for confused you' is incorrect because 'confused' is the past tense form of the verb, which does not fit the context of apologizing for causing confusion.
