Key Points

• Have should be there in place of has.
• Here, the verb comes according to the subject (efforts) which is a plural noun.
• Also, the adjective continuous is correct here, as we need an adjective to qualify the noun 'efforts'.
• Hence, option 1 is the correct answer.
   

Correct sentence: There have been continuous efforts to further strengthen bilateral ties with Japan during PM Modi's regime.
