There are several combination in which different part of sentences can use tenses.
Now he will say that he has done his homework....and so on.

Important point is original question is given in present tense and it is grammatically correct, then who are we to enforce any "past / conditional "would" /future tense" on it. Believe in "Keep it simple".

I do not see any issue in saying like this. Do you?

Yeah, this sentence is also fine and simple as well.

But was there was any mistake in choice D in terms of verb agreement if yes, what was it?

@Scorpion:
I believe that the above sentence is incorrect. We should use "knew" in place of "know"

Thnx for correcting, defylogic. I think you are right.
I was concentrating more on usage of "would have".


I still prefer to write down what I think is right (but may be it is actually not) so that others can correct me and that may benefit more than one person.
