Solution

The correct option is C would refuse
The past subjunctive "were" tells us that the sentence describes a hypothetical situation. In such cases, the subjunctive "were" is followed by subjunctive "would", that is, "would + base verb".
Option B is correct since it follows the above construction, giving the answer "would refuse".
Options A, C and D are incorrect since they are not subjunctive verbs.
