Correct Answer: would never have


Solution : The correct choice is the third option .

Explanation : When expressing a hypothetical or unreal condition in the past, the correct structure is, "If + past perfect + would have + past participle". The use of "would have" is appropriate to convey the unreal or hypothetical nature of the condition.

Therefore, the correct sentence would be: "Rita would never have changed her job if she had been promoted."
