Correct answer and explanation

Correct answer: had studied

Explanation: āœ… Correct Answer: C) had studied šŸ“š Explanation: This is a Third Conditional sentence, which is used to talk about a hypothetical past situation and its result. The structure follows 'If + Past Perfect (had studied), ... would have + Past Participle'. Using 'studied' (Simple Past) would be part of a second conditional, which does not match the 'would have passed' result.
