If they _ the signal, they'd not be fined.
Correct answer: B. Had seen
- A. Saw
- B. Had seen
- C. Would see
- D. See
Explanation
The correct answer is 'had seen' because it correctly aligns with the conditional structure 'If...they'd' in the sentence. This form indicates a hypothetical situation in the past where seeing the signal would have prevented them from being fined. The other options do not match the required tense or structure needed to convey the intended meaning.
