It can also be like "since the last one month".

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

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

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

It could also be "Mr. Praful Patel is not attending his office since last month".

@Pradnya.
No. Because since is used for specific time. (means we can differentiate that moment from others).
Like 2005, 2010, 8am. 9pm, here we can understand the exact time/moment/year etc.
But if we say last month. (Here the question rises which month? Is it apr, may or june or dec?)

My doubt is that. The original sentence is right too.
Suppose you are Boss.
If some1 asks you. WHERE IS RAHUL?
You will reply. He is not attending office for last month.
Correct me if I'm wrong.

"last" is used only in past perfect tense.

The present perfect or present perfect continuous tense should be used with Adverb phrases of time introduced by Since, for and how long.
Ex:Your friend, Suresh is waiting for you since 7 O' clock is the wrong sentence.
The correct one is. Your friend, Suresh has been waiting for you since 7'O clock.
Ex:Your friend, Suresh is waiting for you since 7 O' clock is the wrong sentence.
