I think the correct answer should be A because we never use a sentence like that.
It should be 'The long awaited moment came at last'.
Further, the sentence C is a figure of speech and we can use it like that.

"Have" cannot be used both for since and before at the same time.
It should be "as merry a band of children as I have ever seen since or had ever seen before".
It should be "as merry a band of children as I have ever seen since or had ever seen before".

With 'ever' we use 'ever since or before'.
And with 'never' we use 'never before or since'.
Welcome in advance :).
And with 'never' we use 'never before or since'.

When the word "or" is in between the phrase, I don't think the meaning will change.
Can anyone help me clear my doubts?

At, in, or never used with "last", "next", 'every", but in 1st option before next 'at' is used. So please this.

'Before or since' seems to be more appropriate.
If "before" covers a time period like this:
<""""""""| [now].
And "since" overs a time period like this:
|""""""""[now].
"Before or since" covers a discontinuous time period like this:
<"""""""| |""""""""-[now].
So, before or since should've been used according to the timeline.
Open for debate.
