"Rachel has never been late to a movie." (option C) is the correct option.
Explanation:Since the rest of the sentence is already in the negative, another negative modal verb cannot be placed in the blank else it will create a double negative, in turn creating a meaning altogether different than what has been initially intended by the sentence, or is seemingly intended by the sentence.
"Rachel having never been late to a movie" is incomplete as it suggests something more is to happen to the subject in the sentence.
"Rachel have not never been late to a movie" is grammatically incorrect as it does not follow the subject-verb agreement.
"Rachel had not never been late to a movie" means she has at least once been late to a movie.
Thus, option c is correct which adds complete sense to the sentence.
