The answer should be A. Had been hoping.
The question says, 'Until Abgo lost the election', meaning he had been hoping to be student union president until he lost.
The question could equally be written as:
'Agbo had been hoping to be elected as Student Union president until he lost the election.'
'has been hoping' implies that the election is yet to be held, and that agbo is yet to have lost; which is not the case.
