A Correct answer
Explanation

The time marker 'last September' indicates a specific completed past action, requiring simple past tense 'left'. 'Leaving' is not a complete verb form, 'had left' is past perfect (used for earlier of two past actions), and 'has left' is present perfect (for past actions with present relevance). Simple past is correct here.
