No, (C). When speaking of what happens "today" and which continues to go on, use the present tense.
To solve this question, we need to identify the verb tense that correctly conveys the meaning in the given sentence.
In the sentence, "Even today, young people study Lenin’s theories at the university," we are talking about the present time. So we need to use the correct verb tense that matches with the present.
Option (A) "had to" is in the past tense, so it is not the correct choice.
Option (B) "have had to" is in the present perfect tense, which indicates an action occurring before the present with a connection to the present. However, in this sentence, we are not talking about a requirement or obligation in the past; instead, we are talking about the present situation. Therefore, (B) is not the correct choice.
Option (C) "have to" is in the present tense, which indicates a current requirement. This fits the sentence correctly, stating that young people currently need to study Lenin's theories at the university. Thus, option (C) is the correct answer.
Option (D) "had had to" is in the past perfect tense, which expresses an action completed in the past before another specified past time or action. This verb tense does not align with the present context of the sentence, so (D) is not the correct choice.
Therefore, your answer is correct. The correct option is (C) "have to."
