Time sense should not use in case of present continuous tense. So present perfect should be use here so correct from should be have been or has been.

I agree with @Rahul and @Shyamal. Shyamal has the correct view which hold the right direction in getting a better picture in solving this query.

The correct option is "C" because the sentence continuity will break : - Mr. Praful Patel is not attending his office from the last one month.

If 2nd becomes has not been then option c should be "since the last one month". Not for the last one month. Hence answer is contradictory.

If usage of "for" or "since" is there to denote time frame then "has/have/had been" is used.

I think in past perfect tense we use 3rd form of verb so in place of attending. I put attended.
Correct me if I am wrong.
Correct me if I am wrong.

The process continues. And also mentioned time (last one month), therefore, we use present perfect continuous.

'since' is used for a specific point of time. So how can we use 'for'? and option c should also correct.

We use has been + verb + ing when something started in past and still persist or going on in present.

C can also be an option as Mr Praful is not attending his office [since the last one month].
