At one point, she believed GMAT wasn’t for her. After scoring 595, self-doubt crept in and she questioned her potential. But instead of quitting, she made the right strategic changes. The result? A remarkable comeback to 695. Check out how Saakshi did it.

Yes, the use of "now" is a big part of it. "Have been" indicates the present perfect, and we use that to describe an achievement or something from the past that continues into the present. We could say "I might not have been born" or "I might not have been here to enjoy this day," but we can't use the present perfect to describe "now." The simple present makes much more sense.

Correct: C
(A) If my mother did not attend the London School of Economics, she might not meet my father, and I might not have been here now.
-'did not attend' in past present should be 'had not attended' in past perfect tense. We need to define chronology : attended first then met.
-'Have been' is past continuous and 'now' in present tense in same statement creates tense ambiguous. 'I might not be here now' in present tense will just do fine.
(B) If my mother did not attend the London School of Economics, she might not have meet my father, and I might not have been here now.
-both issues same as A
(C) If my mother had not attended the London School of Economics, she might not have met my father, and I might not be here now.
Correct
(D) If my mother had not attended the London School of Economics, she might not have met my father, and I might not have been here now.
-'had not attended' resolved chronology using past perfect tense.
-Been is incorrect, same issue as described in A
(E) If my mother never attended the London School of Economics, she would not have met my father, and I will not be here now.
-'Never attended' is ambiguous and having meaning error. What if mother attended LSB 2 times and second time he met father. So even if she attended LSB once, she wouldn't have met father.
