Option B, &#8220;have been deprived,&#8221; suggests that the people were deprived of food at some point in the past but are no longer deprived. Option C, &#8220;has been deprived,&#8221; is also incorrect because it uses the singular form of the verb, which is not appropriate for a sentence about a group of people.
