This code was provided to me or This code has been provided to me?

I want to give credit a computer programmer who also holds a doctor title. I'm curious which one of the two is correct and more natural:

A. This code was provided to me by Dr. Name of Person:

B. This code has been provided to me by Dr. Name of Person:

I'm talking about a chunk of computer code.
