IMO B.

Also can someone please explain the meanings associated with these usages-

1. has been shifted
2. has shifted
When you think you can or you cannot, you are generally correct.

has been shifted: the action is under progress +---present perfect progressive tense
has shifted: action is completed -- presence tense
