Hint:

Pay attention to verb tenses in sentences, especially when dealing with actions that have occurred in the past but have relevance in the present.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

The sentence is in the present perfect tense, and "has requested" is the correct form of the verb in this tense. The other options either use incorrect verb forms ("had been ask" or "ask"), or are incomplete ("No improvement"). Thus, the sentence is correct as it is.
