Correct Answer: Option D
Explanation

This sentence is a third conditional sentence, which is used to talk about unreal situations in the past—things that did not happen.

Structure of the third conditional:

  • If + past perfect, would have + past participle

In this case:

  • "Had he known" = inverted form of "If he had known" (past perfect)

  • The main clause should be: "he would have taken his umbrella"
