Detailed Solution

The phrase 'has always...' in the given sentence refers to something that has existed in the past and is still relevant today.
'Has' is also a helping verb that joins with the main verb to form the present perfect tense (past participle). (The present perfect tense indicates that an action began in the past and has just finished, or that a fact was and still is true.)
A verb phrase in the present perfect tense has the following structure: has + past participle
As a result, the correct answer must be a past participle.
Option 3: 'Been' is a past tense of 'to be.' As a result, 3 is the correct answer.
