C Correct answer
Explanation

Present perfect tense 'have not seen' correctly connects the past (not seeing Mohan) to the present moment of speaking. 'Did not see' is simple past with no present connection, 'am not seeing' is present continuous for current action, and 'has not seen' is incorrect because the subject is 'I' requiring 'have'.
