Solution

The correct option is C Had / would take up
This sentence talks about the second conditional that is used to express imaginary situations. So, second conditional uses forms of verbs in past tense. The structure of second conditional is: “If” clause (if + subject + simple past verb) followed by Main clause ( subject + would + verb). Hence, Option D is the correct answer here. Options A and C cannot be used as they use forms of verbs in present and future tenses. Option B cannot be used as it would render the sentence grammatically incorrect.
