You should say which one you think is correct, and why you think it might not be!– AhmadFeb 27, 2016 at 18:45

2Any of these can be correct, depending on the context. Please edit your post to explain the situation you are trying to describe, and what you believe the correct answer is and why.– chosterFeb 27, 2016 at 18:59

"that handsome Young man and his friend" are two persons then you need a plural verb. (4) "are" or (3) "had been" are correct.
When you see "and" between two single nouns, it makes them plural.
Sara and Nima are good people.
That man and this woman are engaged.
