Explanation:

The correct replacement here would be ‘moved off’. Note that the sentence is in the present perfect tense hinted by the presence of ‘has been’. So, we need a past participle. Also the phrase ‘move off’ means to change the subject or location to something else.

Note the meanings of other phrasal verbs given in options which are against the context of the given sentence.

Move into: to start living or operating a business in a place.

Move for something: to instigate or initiate some legal motion

So option 3 is correct.
