CorrectNot quiteAnswer C
Correct answer: C
Explanation
"If I had a car" imagines something that is not true now. The result takes "would" with the plain verb: "would drive".
Worth noting
"Will drive" is for a real condition, as in "if I have the car, I will drive you". "Had" makes this an imagined one.
