TO DATE implies an action that started in the past and might continue in the present. Thus, the PRESENT PERFECT should be used:

To date, John HAS SEEN one hundred movies.

Given all the issues with the OA here, I would ignore this SC.
thanks a lot Mitch :)

Hi Mitch,

Could you explain, in case colon is replaced by comma, why options B, C , D and E are wrong?

but "TO" is a preposition as well and hence to date.... can be assumed as a prepositional modifier which could be modifying the perior clause ...by that definition even E should be wrong ...plz advise

Following the colon can be a noun or a noun phrase, a list of nouns, or a complete clause.
A modifying phrase should NOT follow a colon.

In A and B, a prepositional modifier (of which) follows the colon. Eliminate A and B.
mitch,
even E has a prepositional modifier after the colon. did you mean that a modifier that intends to modify something in clause before the colon should not follow colon
Premise: If you like my post
Conclusion : Press the Thanks Button ;)
