Answer 1

Answer:

We use the past perfect tense to talk about wishes for the past. Hence option D, 'had had' is the correct answer where the former 'had' is used to make it in the past perfect tense and the latter 'had' is the past participle of the verb 'have'.

Options A and B are incorrect because they are not in the past perfect tense.

Option C is incorrect because it is incomplete without the past participle form of the verb 'have'.
