OA is A .
But I also chose D. I still do not understand the verb mismatch in D. Please explain how the reasoning below is iwrong.
IMO, scentence begins with "he said" which is past tense
so "would have" is also a past participle
and "would" is also past tense of "will" in third part of scentence.
Hence all three parts of the scentence in is past. So choice D should be right.
But in choice A , scentence begins "he said" past tense then second and third part of scentence are in present tense. It looks verb mismatch to me.
