A Beginning
B Begun
C To begin
D Having begun
答案:A
解析：本题考查非谓语动词作状语。
现在分词作状语，可以表示时间、原因、结果、目的、条件、方式、伴随状况，该动作和句子的主语是主动关系，常表主动和进行；现在分词的完成式结构为"having+过去分词"，表示这个动作发生在主句谓语动词所表示的动作之前，并且有明显的先后顺序；过去分词作状语，该动作和句子主语是动宾关系，表示被动和完成；动词不定式作状语，主要表示出乎意料或非主观愿望所希望的结果。
本题中的主语是this trip，它和begin之间是主谓关系，分词的动作和句子的动作也没有明显的先后顺序关系，所以应用现在分词的形式。
故选A。
