Solution
The correct option is B had already started A verb is used to express an occurrence, action, or state. It is the grammatical centre of the predicate in a sentence. Option B)had already started is correct as past perfect tense is used to indicate an action that was completed before some point in the past.
The other options are wrong as 'when we went' indicates the use of the past tense. The correct answer is B)had already started.
