(1) I believe that No. 2 is the correct answer.

(a) You are dealing here with the passive.

(b) The passive usually comes from an active sentence.

(c) The active sentence in your example was something like:

The people had elected him the CM of UP.

(i) That is changed to:

He had BEEN elected the CM of UP (by the people).

(a) As you know, the passive needs a form of "to be."
