I will try to answer it.  I picked the right answer when I did that.  

First, although is ususually used to start a sentence, not in the middle.

Second, spots 'on' something, not spots 'at'  ie.  I see spots on your shirt, not I see spots at your shirt.  

Third.  'having' is a on going action, but it has not been sighted yet, therefore, it can't be an on going action.  'Although never have been sighted' would be better.

OG解释

D Although usually introduces a subordinate clause, but there is no subject of the clause and having been sighted is not a complete verb phrase.
