B Correct answer
Explanation

To change 'He does not open the gate' (Simple Present) to Present Perfect, use 'has/have + past participle.' The correct transformation is 'He has not opened the gate.' Option A uses Past Simple 'did not.' Option C uses Present Continuous 'is not opening.' Option D incorrectly uses 'have' with 'he' (should be 'has').
