Being rude vs Having been rude

Hi. Is the D also possible in the following sentence？

I will overlook _____so rude to my sister this time but don't let it happen again

B:your being D:you having been

If I'm talking about his behavior up to present: I intend to mean "he has been rude to my sister recently", rather than "he is still rude", D works well, right？

Hi, Robby zhu—Yes, you can use the perfect or not in that context. It's optional.
