Solution

The correct option is B Could have had
The correct answer is Option B.
COULD HAVE HAD is used to express the consequence of an event that has not happened.
In the given sentence, had the speaker known that the friend played tennis, the consequence would be a game of doubles.
Thus Option B is the correct answer.
The remaining options are incorrect because:
CAN HAVE is the present tense, the sentence is referring to an event in the past.
MIGHT HAVE expresses possibility.
COULD HAVE is grammatically incorrect.
