A
Having always been an early riser,
B
waking up early and
C
going for a jog
D
has always been very important to me
Answer provided is D..the reason stated was that as there are two actions being described, we need to use have.But if both actions are considered as a single idea and one complete action, isn't 'has' correct?
the sentence could be re framed as Being an early riser, waking up early and going for a jog has always been very important to me. Is there anything wrong in this construction?

Answer
YES- YOU ARE CORRECT BUT IN THE CONTEXT YOU CANNOT CONSIDER WAKING UP EARLY AND GOING FOR A JOG AS COMBINED ACTIONS . A COMBINED ACTION CAN BE AS FOLLOWS . GOING TO A TEMPLE AND PRAYING THE GOD HAVE BEEN A HABIT FOR ME SINCE 4 YEARS IS CORRECT, PLAYING CRICKET AND GETTING HURT IS A DAILY ACTION FOR HIM ,
