B Correct answer
Explanation

The adverb 'recently' indicates a completed past action, so the simple past tense 'went' is appropriate. 'Had been' and 'was' are incorrect because they suggest states of being, not the action of going. 'Has been' is present tense and doesn't match the past indication of 'recently'.
