    Explanation:

    - Essaouira's historical timeline suggests continuous existence, implying that it "has been" a center of culture and commerce.

    - Option 1: "been" - Lacks an auxiliary verb and is incomplete.

    - Option 2: "has been" - Correct, as it denotes a state that began in the past and continues into the present, suitable for historical contexts.

    - Option 3: "had be" - Incorrect form; "had been" would be correct for past perfect tense, not suitable here.

    - Option 4: "have been" - Plural form, unsuitable since "Essaouira's origins" requires singular "has been."
