If the bottle is only half-empty c) "must have been drinking" is more appropriate. If it were empty b) "must have drunk" would be correct.

b, c, and d work.
d assumes that you've left your drink, and periodically someone is coming and drinking it.

c is most likely.
 
At my university (in Poland), if I circled b or d I would get no point. The only correct answer for non-native teachers is C. And if the bottle were completely empty, then the proper answer would be B.
