Correct Answer: Option B

Explanation

The phrase is “would be a departure from”, which connects a present/future hypothetical situation with past actions that are still relevant now. Have taken place best fills the gap because this is the present perfect tense, used for actions that happened in the past but are relevant to the present situation. The past rejections are still influencing the current decision.
