Ya I too have the same doubt. Can anyone explain it.

Ya it seems "never you will get it back" suits more.

If "never" comes first, then the rest of the sentence should be like "never will you get it back". If option c is phrased like this, then the sentence won't have any error else c is wrong.

Its a matter of what we speak in english these days. While speaking, we generally don't give any importance to grammar. So, while speaking, we may use "never you will get it back". Its better to put the word "never" before the phrase for which it is actually used i.e. "get it back".

"you will never get it back" is just corrct. Its simple. Isn't it?

We can write it as "on lending him a book".

I'm agree with vertika.

'You will never get it back' is correct because the emphasis here is on the word 'Never'.

It is the common rule that in english the never should come third person singular or plural that is why where it is used like this is isn't it.
