Solution
The correct option is C No, I haven't seen Sarah for about a month. The present perfect is a verb tense which is used to show that an action has taken place before now, or has just happened. Here, it's 'seeing Sarah'. The present perfect in the negative is formed using has/have + not + past participle, here, "have not seen". Hence, Option C is correct.
The rest of the options do not express this condition. They mention actions that have already happened (option A), actions that are happening on a daily basis (option B) or continuous actions happening in the present (option D). Hence these options are incorrect.
