Explanation:

- The passage is discussing the concept of mental health and how it's more than just the absence of mental health issues.

- Option 1: "Been" - This is the past participle of "be," and it doesn't fit well in this context where a present state is being described.

- Option 2: "As" - This is a preposition or conjunction, which doesn't correctly fit the sentence structure before "mentally or emotionally healthy."

- Option 3: "Be" - This is an infinitive form, which doesn't fit well in this specific sentence structure either.

- Option 4: "Being" - This is a present participle, and it fits naturally in this context, indicating the current state of mental health being discussed.
