Solution

The correct option is D Never
'Adverb' is a word which modifies the meaning of a verb, adjective or another adverb. In the first sentence, the verb is "have been'. The word 'never' modifies the meaning of the verb, 'have been'. Hence, it is an adverb. As it makes the verb negative, it is called an adverb of negation. Hence, option B is correct.
Option A: The word, 'would' is a modal or a helping verb, which indicates the possibility of 'going there'.
Option C: The word, 'have' is an auxiliary or helping verb, which is a part of the verb, 'have been'.
Option D: 'Maldives' is a proper noun and not an adverb.
As 'would', 'have' and 'Maldives' are not adverbs, options A, C and D are incorrect.
