Correct Answer: (3)


Solution : The correct choice is the third option.

Explanation : In the third conditional, we use the past perfect in the "if" clause to talk about a condition that was not met in the past, and we use the conditional perfect (would have + past participle) in the main clause to discuss the hypothetical result of that unmet condition. So, "had had" is the correct verb form to be used here.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: "If I had had money, I would have bought this car."
