The sentence uses the form 'would to have been', which is incorrect and needs improvement.

Instead of using the preposition 'to', using 'not' makes the sentence meaningful.

So, 'wouldn't have been' improves the sentence, however, the presence of the conjunction 'if' changes this. 

Here, 'if' signifies a contradiction. Therefore, the correct answer will be option D. 

Therefore, the correct answer is option 4.
