Options

B. Knowing
C. Having known
D. To have known
This answer is B and I chose C and am still not convinced.
Please explain it to me!!!!
B is correct. Native speakers say "Knowing him/her" to mean "According to what I know about his/her habits/tendencies..."
Ex:
A: Where's Tom?
B: Knowing him, he's at the gym.
(B knows that Tom usually exercises at the gym at this time of day.)
