A Correct answer
Explanation

Present perfect tense 'has happened' is correct because the question asks about Mohan's situation with present relevance - what has happened to him (connecting past to present). 'Had happened' places it before another past event, 'happened' is simple past with no present focus, and 'is happening' is for current ongoing action.
