  • B: No, it is yet to start or It is yet to be started.
  • B's reply does not directly follow A's question.
  • "No, I/we haven't started it yet" would be a direct answer, though in practice we would not normally bother to repeat the verb, we would just say "No, not yet".
  • "No, it's yet to start" / "No, it's yet to be started" are less direct answers, as if B doesn't want to take individual responsibility for doing it.
