Correct Answer: that he had


Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option .

The phrase if he had should be replaced with that he had to make the sentence grammatically accurate because the conjunction that is used to introduce the clause expressing what the person denied, followed by the past perfect tense ( he had caused ) to correctly convey the denial of causing the accident.

Therefore, the correct sentence is, "He denied that he had caused the accident".
