Solution

The correct option is B have , been
The present perfect tense is used to describe something that happened in the past, but the exact time it happened is not important. It has a relationship with the present. This sentence is a typical example of the present perfect tense as it comprises all the above mentioned properties.
Have/has + past participle makes the present perfect
Since, this sentence is in the first person we would be using "have".
In this case, both "gone" and "been" are past participle.
"gone" means no longer present whereas "been" means to occur or take place. The latter one is a perfect match to what the sentence needs since the event occurred.
Option B is correct
