A Correct answer
Explanation

The present perfect passive 'has been placed' is correct because it describes a recent achievement (coming first in exams) with present relevance. She is now in the merit list as a result of this placement. The simple past 'was placed' would only work if specifying when it happened, and 'had placed' is active voice not passive.
