Solution

The correct option is C He has shaved off his beard.
The present perfect is a verb tense which is used to show that an action has taken place once or many times before now, here, shaving beard. The present perfect is formed using has/have + past participle, here, "has shaved". Questions are indicated by inverting the subject and has/have. Negatives are made with not. Hence, Option C is correct.
The rest of the options do not express this condition. They either mention actions that have already happened (options A and B) or verb forms 'he is shaved off' that do not express a complete, sensible meaning (option D). 'Is' expresses a state of being and not an action here.
Hence these options are incorrect.
