a) is not perfect in my experience – “She did not come after that.”
b) definitely wrong (has not have).
c) not likely in most situations. “been coming” expresses a repeated arrival – or unlikely an extremely long trip.
The missing option in the choices is “She has not come since then.” This would be preferred.

Anonymousa) She did not come since then.
A combination of "did" with "since" is not good.
Anonymousb) She have not come since then.
The combination "She have" is impossible in English. It's "She has".
