Option 3 : C

The correct answer is C

  • The given sentence is a conditional sentence. 
  • Conditional sentences are used to express that the action in the main clause (without if) can only take place if a certain condition (in the clause with if) is fulfilled.
  • If the 'if clause' is in the past perfect tense, the following structure is followed:
    • If + Sub + had + v3.............would have + v3
                      (OR)
    • Had + Sub + v3.................would have + v3
  • According to the rule given above, 'would have' will be used instead of 'could have'.
     

Correct Sentence: Had I realized your house was such a long way off, I would have taken a taxi. 

  • The past perfect tense is used to talk about actions that were completed before some point in the past.
  • 'Had + v3' is used in the past perfect tense.​ 
    • E.g. I had met him before the event.
