Answer:
The given sentence is a Type 2 conditional, because it presents a hypothetical condition (if-clause) and its probable result.
In such sentences, the if-clause is in simple past tense and the main clause present conditional ('would drive to the theater').
Option B: 'Would drive' expresses the present conditional. It completes the sentence in meaning as well as agrees with the Type 2 structure. Hence option B is correct.
Option A: 'Drive' is in the simple present tense. It isn't used in the second conditional.
Options C and D: Similarly, 'drives' refers to the simple present tense. 'Would drove' is grammatically incorrect (as 'drove' should be replaced with the verb 'drive' to form a past conditional). ('Would' is a conditional and does not refer to past tense, whereas 'drove does'. Hence 'drove' is unnecessary.)
