@Jigruu the right answer should be if had been him I would have taught but the problem is what to change the first part or the latter one.

"If I were he still" does not make sense! "if I were him" is right so I feel it should be D) no error.

In if clause (If I were after pronoun is used he, she, they like but not objective). In main clause (I would after V1 is used). SO correct is If I were he, I would teach those cheats a lesson.
I would have taught also correct If it is used in a unfulfill condition.
