Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. been removed for.

Grammatical concept: The sentence is in the present perfect passive tense ("has not been ..."), which requires the past participle form of the verb.
Incorrectness in context: "Remove" is the base form, but after "has not been," the past participle "removed" should be used.
Correct phrase: has not been removed
