The correct answer is: D) Joseph Schultz in the next apartment, as well as the entire Partridge family, have lived in our neighborhood since 1990.

Indeed, Joseph Schultz is an singular noun proper and since the verb to live is part of the predicate for such singular noun, the conjugation has to be singular as well, i.e. “has lived”.
