The answer for this would be option A. HAD BEEN. What makes "had been" correct is that the action happened in the past, and also, the subject is plural which is "Marco's father and Uncle". Notice that the second clause after the word "and" also uses "had been". For parallelism, we need to use the same verb as well.
