The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Let’s examine the sentence:
"I never remember to have seen a more exciting movie."
Although it may appear fine at first glance, it has multiple issues in phrasing and structure.
(A) I never remember – Incorrect. The verb "remember" is used wrongly with "never" in this context. The correct phrase should be: "I don't remember" or "I can't remember". Using “never remember” sounds unnatural and awkward in standard English.

(B) to have seen – Incorrect. This construction is grammatically awkward and rarely used in modern English. The more natural and grammatically correct phrasing would be: "seeing". So the correct verb pattern is: "I don't remember seeing..."

(C) a more exciting – Incorrect. The use of "more exciting" is a comparative form that is used when comparing two or more items. However, the context implies that the speaker has never seen any movie more exciting than this one — making the superlative form appropriate. It should be: "the most exciting".

(D) movie – Correct. This noun completes the sentence logically and grammatically. Corrected sentence:
"I don’t remember seeing the most exciting movie." \quad (Still a bit awkward.)
Even better:
"I can’t remember seeing a more exciting movie." — This version is grammatically correct and natural.
