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

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

"last" is used only in past perfect tense.

This sentence is in present perfect continues tens which indicate that something start in past is continue till now and we don't know how long it will.
So answer. B is correct.
So answer. B is correct.

Past perfect continous tense:see the [c] last one month.

The answer surely cannot be option C. Option B is correct. One more possible answer that I think could be correct is 'has not attended' .... like .... 'Mr. Praful Patel has not attended the office for the last one month' ...
