Answer:
The past perfect tense describes an action completed before a certain moment in the past. It is formed by using 'had' (the past tense form of 'to have') + the past participle form of the main verb.
The main verb in the given sentence is 'recommend', whose past participle form is 'recommended'. Hence the correct past perfect form of the verb is 'had recommended'. Hence option A is correct.
Option B is incorrect as 'recommended' is in the simple past tense.
Option B is incorrect as ' will be recommending' is in the future continuous tense.
Option D is incorrect as 'has recommended' is in the present perfect tense.
