Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation

The sentence expresses an unreal or unlikely condition and its imagined result:

If ___ one day, we would talk about it for weeks.

This is a second conditional structure:

  • If + past simple,

  • would + base verb.

So the verb after if should be in the past simple, even though the meaning refers to the future.
