Correct Answer: had not run out
Solution : The correct choice is the second option .
The sentence is in the past perfect tense (would not have surrendered), so the relative clause referring to running out of ammunition should also be in the past perfect tense. Thus, the phrase had not run out should be used, as it is in the past perfect tense and conveys the idea that the soldiers would not have surrendered if they had not run out of ammunition.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: "The soldiers would not have surrendered if they had not run out of ammunition."
