Answer: would have driven

Step-by-step explanation: The object pronoun "me" and the subject pronoun "I" in the first and second options cannot form part of a verb phrase. In the third option, the complement "more" does not belong to a verb phrase, and the verb "driven" is incomplete. Finally, the fourth option is the only one with the complete verb phrase (verb and all its auxiliaries) and nothing external to it.
