Correct Answer: Option B

Explanation

The sentence is using a conditional statement in the past perfect tense to express a hypothetical situation and its result. "If the rain hadn't fallen" implies that the rain did fall, and as a result, "we wouldn't have missed the match." This means that because the rain fell, they did not watch the match. Therefore, option B correctly explains the information conveyed in the sentence.
