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

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

"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".

What is the difference between "before or since" and "since or before"?

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.
