Correct Answer: (1)
Solution : The sentence can be improved using the first option " had known".
This option is the correct choice because it correctly follows the rules of the third conditional. It uses the past perfect tense in the first part, followed by modal + have + V3 in the second part of the sentence. We use the third conditional to express the past consequence of an unrelaistic action or situation in the past.
Therefore, the correct sentence is "If I had known the truth, I would have admitted it".
