Correct Answer: hadn't


Solution : The correct choice is the second option.

Explanation :

In this context, the sentence is expressing a hypothetical situation or a condition contrary to reality. The use of the past perfect tense "hadn't" is appropriate because it indicates that the action of "him" preventing the situation occurred before the past event of "nobody knowing that Monster was back".

So, the correct sentence would be: If it hadn't been for him, nobody would even have known Monster was back!
