Causatives Question


As I know we use causatives in the forms below;

———————

  • Have + object + past participle (have something done)
  • Get + object + past participle (get something done)
  • Have someone do something (have + person + infinitive)
  • Get someone to do something (get + person + to + infinitive)
  • Subject + let + object + bare infinitive (infinitive without 'to')
  • Subject + make + object + bare infinitive (infinitive without 'to')

———————

So according to these formats, none of the options is correct for the question which is attached as a picture.

I eliminated D and E because in causatives, verb never gets “ing”. And then i checked out others and eliminated B too. Because make always gets a bare verb. So A and C were leftovers, but in the options there isnt any V3s so none of them looks correct.

(Btw here is my source: http://www.perfect-english-grammar.com/causatives-have-get.html )

How can I solve this question?

Thanks.
