• A. would have
• B. would have had
• C. has
• D. no improvement

Hint:

If he had time he will call you.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Concept
This is a conditional sentence (First Conditional).
Step 2: Analysis
In a First Conditional sentence, the "if-clause" uses the simple present tense to describe a likely future event paired with "will" in the main clause.
Step 3: Evaluation
- "If he had time" is past tense, which does not match the future "will call." - "If he has time" (Option c) is simple present, making the sentence a grammatically correct first conditional.
Step 4: Conclusion
Replace "had" with "has" for grammatical correctness.
Final Answer: (c)
