A) I would have liked

Example: I would have liked to go swimming today, but the rain kept me indoors.

Notice that the word "Kept" is past tense.

Hoped this helps!

Answer:

A) would have liked

Step-by-step explanation:

The part of the sentence "the rain kept me indoor" shows that the action in the earlier part of the sentence is now in the past participle tense form and no longer in the past tense form. The underlined part of the sentence "have liked" is in the paste tense.

To change it to the past participle form, it will be replaced with would have liked to. This reports it in the past participle form.
