Verified Correct Answer: B.
Grammar & Contextual Explanation
The verb "admit" is followed by a gerund (verb + -ing) when expressing something acknowledged or confessed. "Admitted not having a licence" is grammatically correct because "having" is the gerund form of "have."
C. to not having ❌ → Incorrect because "admit" is followed directly by a gerund, not "to" + gerund.
