Awould give

Bwould have given

Chad given

Dwill give

Answer:

A. would give

Read Explanation:

  • വർത്തമാനത്തിലോ ഭാവിയിലോ ഒരു സാങ്കൽപ്പികമോ അയഥാർത്ഥമോ (hypothetical or unreal situation) ആയ സാഹചര്യം പ്രകടിപ്പിക്കുന്ന ഒരു conditional sentenceൽ, "would" + ക്രിയയുടെ അടിസ്ഥാന രൂപം ഉപയോഗിക്കുന്നു ("would" + base form of the verb). In this case, "would give" is the correct choice to express the hypothetical action of giving generously if the person were a millionaire (കോടീശ്വരനാണെങ്കിൽ ഉദാരമായി നൽകുന്ന സാങ്കൽപ്പിക പ്രവർത്തനം)
  • "I would have given generously to good causes": This is in the past perfect tense ("would have given"), മുമ്പ് (in past) പൂർത്തിയാക്കിയ ഒരു പ്രവർത്തനത്തെ സൂചിപ്പിക്കുന്നു. എന്നിരുന്നാലും, conditional sentence ഒരു സാങ്കൽപ്പിക വർത്തമാന സാഹചര്യത്തെയാണ് ചർച്ച ചെയ്യുന്നത്, ഭൂതകാലമല്ല (a hypothetical present situation, not a past one).
  • "had given" is a past perfect construction
  • "Will give" indicates a future action
