c. gets

d. have got

One of + plural noun + singular verb The correct option to complete the sentence is: "gets" So the complete sentence is: "At least one of the students gets full marks every time." Explanation: "Gets" is the correct form because "one of the students" is singular, and the verb should agree with the singular subject "one." "Get" is used with plural subjects, so it's not appropriate here. "Are getting" and "have got" are not suitable because they do not agree with the singular subject "one."
