1."am having"(c)
Present continuous causative: 'am/is/are + having + object + past participle'. 'At the moment' shows the renovation is in progress right now.
2."has had"(a)
Present perfect causative: 'has/have + had + object + past participle'. 'So far this year' requires present perfect. 'She has had her car serviced' = she has arranged for it three times.
3."were having"(d)
Past continuous causative: 'was/were + having + object + past participle'. 'When the storm hit' shows an action was already in progress at a specific past moment. The painting arrangement was ongoing when the storm interrupted.
4."have"(b)
Modal causative: 'should + have + object + past participle'. 'Should have your eyes tested' is advice about arranging an eye test. After modals (should, must, can, etc.), use the base form 'have'.
5."have"(c)
Future causative with 'will': 'will + have + object + past participle'. 'I'll have the report printed' = I will arrange for someone to print it before the meeting.
