Because the actual sentences uses
have received -
have + past participle is present perfect.
present perfect implies an action that began in the past and continues till now. If you don't know to identify it, then learn it from any books. Here is a gist of the same words in different tenses, which will help you understand this question at least
receive - simple present -
used in option D
received - simple past
will receive - simple future
is/are receiving - present continuous -
used in Option B/E
was/were receiving - past continuous
will be receiving - future continuous
have received - present perfect -
This is used in A and C
had received - past perfect
will have received - future perfect
has/have been receiving - present perfect continuous
had been receiving - past perfect continuous
will have been receiving - future perfect continuous
C - fine and better than A.-- How did you judge it is better than A. The only difference between two sentences is the possessive form
C is better than A for two reasons
1.There is nothing wrong with the meaning in the original sentence, then there is no need to change the tense. Give preference to original tense unless you are very sure that it is wrong or it is unnecessary. So C has precedence over A.
2.This again is a sort of preference, avoid possessive case altogether if there is a better choice or when its used with non living things. C is better in this case as well.
Learn to find which have more preference, where and why - you can crack SCs easily. Hope this helped.
