Correct option is A
Correct sentence: I could marry her if I
wanted to.
Rule: In conditional sentences, past simple ("wanted") is used with "could" for hypothetical situations.
Example:
· She
could travel the world if she
saved enough money.
Meanings of other options:
·
(b) had wanted ❌ (Incorrect: "Had wanted" is used in third conditional, referring to past regrets.)
·
(c) have wanted ❌ (Incorrect: "Have wanted" is present perfect, which does not fit here.)
·
(d) want ❌ (Incorrect: "Want" is simple present, but we need past simple for a hypothetical situation.)
Thus,
"wanted" is the correct answer. ✅
