Hello Imspiderman!

B would make the most sense.

A along with C makes absolutely no sense. The words almost and had is showing and indicating ensurity or that something already happened. The sentence is furthermore about a nonexistent (aka something that didn't happen), yet would have happened if it did exist (hence the ifs), past (hence the past tense words taken, had, failed, and did) scenario.

D: He could failed is not proper grammar and very choppy opposed to being fluent and coherent (which sentences are supposed to be).

He would have failed the test if he had taken it because he did not study.

This is more formal, and from all the options above, this would be a appropriate subjunctive form of the verb to finish to sentence.

Hope this helps.
