Answer:

B. had

• In conditional sentences expressing unreal or hypothetical situations (അയഥാർത്ഥമോ സാങ്കൽപ്പികമോ ആയ സാഹചര്യങ്ങൾ), the past simple tense is used in the "if" clause to indicate a condition that is not true in the present (വർത്തമാനകാലത്തിൽ ശരിയല്ലാത്ത ഒരു അവസ്ഥയെ സൂചിപ്പിക്കാൻ). The main clause then typically uses "would" + the base form of the verb to express the hypothetical result or action. In this case, "had" is used to indicate a hypothetical possession of a lot of money.
• In type 2 conditional sentences, "would" is used in the main clause, not in the "if" clause.
