If the reporter would have known the landlord's side of the story, she would not have written an article so favorable to the 81-year-old tenant.


(A) would have known the landlord's side of the story, she would not have written

(B) would of known the landlord's side of the story, she would not of written

(C) had known the landlord's side of the story, she would not have written

(D) had known the landlord's side of the story, she would not have wrote

(E) knew the landlord's side of the story, she would not have written

C is my answer. It uses correct form of verb pattern in conditional clause.
