Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. can have been
- The above sentence is in passive voice structure.
- In this structure 'have been' after a modal verb is incorrect, instead 'can' will be used.

- 'Can' is used when someone knows how to.
Hence, the correct sentence is-
He can be more polite to her.
