CorrectNot quiteAnswer B

Correct answer: B

"If you had told me" describes a past that did not happen. The result takes "would have" with the past participle: "would have helped".

Worth noting

"Would help" belongs to an imagined present, as in "if you told me, I would help". "Had told" needs "would have helped".
