Correct answer: B
The sentence 'I have been yet to go' is grammatically incorrect because the adverb 'yet' is misplaced and disrupts the present perfect construction. The correct idiomatic expression in English is 'have yet to + verb', which means something has not happened up to the present moment. Therefore, replacing 'have been yet' with 'have yet' results in the grammatically sound sentence: 'I have yet to go to the flower exhibition at Delhi University.' Option A ('have yet being') is incorrect because 'being' is a present participle and cannot follow 'yet' in this context. Option C ('have yet been') is wrong because it creates a redundant perfect structure that does not fit the infinitive 'to go.' Option D ('had been yet') incorrectly shifts to past perfect tense. Since the original sentence is flawed, 'No replacement required' is also incorrect.
