If you had called me, I _ helped you.
Correct answer: B. Might have
- A. Will have
- B. Might have
- C. May
- D. Must have
Explanation
In this sentence, the past perfect 'had called' in the 'If' clause indicates a past unreal condition. Therefore, the correct verb form to use in the main clause is 'might have helped,' showing a possibility that did not happen in the past. The other options do not match the required tense or convey the appropriate meaning in the context of the sentence.
