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

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

Option b and c both can b corrected to get d right answer I suppose.

If there should be have been in option b than in option c it must be since last one month. Because according to gramatical rule in present perfect continuous tense since is used when there is a specific period of time given. And last one month is a specific period of time.

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' ...
