Hint: The action started in the past and is related to something in the pre.

Complete step-by-step answer:

 In the given question, we have to fill in the blank with the most suitable verb form given. To do this let us first try and understand the given question. In the question, the person named Rumi started writing a letter still hasn’t completed it, which is connected to some other event. The tense that is used to describe this is called present perfect tense.
The syntax for the same is: has/have + past participle
This is also used in the passive voice, and then we focus the attention on who receives the action. When the present perfect in the passive voice is used, the syntax is: has/have + been + past participle
Keeping this in mind, let us look at the given options.
Option ‘A’ and ‘B’ are incorrect as they do not have ‘been’ in the options.
Option ‘C’ is incorrect as the word ‘written’ is not in past participle but present.
Hence, the correct answer is an option ‘D’, which has not been written as it follows the given syntax.

Note: To understand questions related to tense it is necessary to learn its different types and their respective usage.
