Correct answer: A
Correct sentence: Kartik has done nothing since yesterday.
Explanation: Use the present perfect to link a past start point with the present. When you mention a specific start time you use "since" + that time (for example, "since yesterday") to show that the situation continues up to now.
"since": used with a specific point in time to show when something began and still affects the present (correct choice).
"through": indicates the whole duration of a period (e.g., "through the week") and does not mark a single start point like "yesterday."
"to": does not express a starting point by itself. "From...to..." shows a range but cannot replace "since" in this sentence.
Original "from" is not appropriate here with present perfect. Use "since" to indicate the start point that continues to the present.
