Look at those two words, "Have" and "Seen". What do those two words indicate? Are they past or present tense?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i think that it is B
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Not exactly no it's not B. Are the words, "Have" and "Seen" past or present tense?

The PAST PERFECT TENSE indicates that an action was completed (finished or "perfected") at some point in the past before something else happened. This tense is formed with the past tense form of "to have" (HAD)

D

So that would indicate that A is the correct answer.
