I don't know about "having" but "being" is always wrong so you can safely eliminate the choice with it.

"Always" wrong?
Jane is accustomed to being a role model for her sister.
Jack doesn't appreciate being the object of Steve's pranks.
Being the fool is distasteful.

In SAT it seems to be used in a wrong manner always.

I'm sorry. It seems I failed to learn the rule that SAT was trying to teach me: "do not use absolutes".
The word "being" is almost always used incorrectly. Sometimes it is used correctly. Fogcity gave some good examples.
