Correct answer: C. Would have caught
- A. Catch
- B. Caught
- C. Would have caught
- D. Will catch
Explanation
The correct answer is Option C: 'would have caught'. In the sentence, 'If I had woken up earlier, I would have caught the bus,' the structure indicates a past perfect conditional tense. The use of 'would have caught' is the correct way to express the missed opportunity of catching the bus due to not waking up early enough. The other options do not fit the conditional structure required in the sentence.
