A similar type of construction can be found in every Romance language, each having a consistent order of impersonal pronoun, indefinite pronoun, and verb.

"Each having" incorrectly modifies "A similar type of construction".

hence incorrect

It is supposed to modify those words only. Both A & C use adverb modifiers - A uses prep. ph and C uses present participle

after "comma" we need here something that modifies "every roman language" not "a similar type of construction".

Having is almost always incorrect on GMAT. Only case where HAVING is correct is HAVING + PAST PARTICIPLE
e.g.Having studied hard, I scored 700+ on GMAT

I wouldn't say incorrect. The SC part differs from RC and CR in this respect: there can be two or three correct answenrs, but one of them is the most correct. I personally love to use structures with having, but unfortunately this is not strongly recommended on the GMAT :)

Will this apply for all present participle verbs?

Can present participle + past participle construction be always correct?
