If she had known, she _ reacted differently.
Correct answer: C. Would have
- A. Had
- B. Would
- C. Would have
- D. Will have
Explanation
In this hypothetical past situation, the correct structure to use is 'would have' to indicate the alternative outcome that could have happened if the condition had been met. The other options do not align with the correct structure for this type of sentence: 'had known' sets up the past perfect conditional, and 'would' and 'will have' do not fit the pattern required for this context.
