In I, 'have' is an auxiliary verb; in II, 'to have fled' indicates a current action; in III, 'must have been having' is used for expressing a confirmed fact in the past.
Alternativa D:
In I, 'have' means to not allow or tolerate; in II, the perfect infinitive 'to have fled' is used to show the action of fleeing occurred before the reporting; in III, 'must have been having' is a modal perfect continuous used for speculating about an ongoing action in the past.
