This looks like homework. Which would you choose?

this is not my homework.
I would choose B (bitten), and the key is B. but someone says A (being bitten) is also acceptable, as here "being" is omitted. they think in adverbial clause that expresses the cause, "being done" is equated with "done".

in my opinion, "bitten" and "having been bitten" both are acceptable, instead of "being bitten".

I agree with you. "Bitten" or "Having been bitten" are fine - I prefer the latter. "Being bitten" doesn't work for me.
