Correct Answer: would have gone


Solution : The correct choice is the first option.

Explanation:
This is the case of the third conditional, which is used to talk about hypothetical situations and their potential outcomes, and the structure for this type of conditional is " would have + past participle" to indicate a hypothetical situation in the past and its hypothetical result. Thus, had gone should be replaced with would have gone to align with the structure of the third conditional.

Therefore, the correct sentence would be: If you had learned French, you would have gone to France for studies.
