The correct answer is B. hung/had been hanged

Option B is the correct answer.

In the arrangement of tenses, 'when the main clause is in past or past perfect tense, the subordinate clause must be in the past or past perfect tense'.

'had' is used to express a past perfect tense as opposed to 'has' which is used to express a present perfect tense
