Yes I will have helped is the correct answer because it relates to the third use of conditional sentences.

If there is the use of yesterday then we have to use past indefinite despite past perfect so part a is incorrect.

Is option B is right?

Saadhan Kumar said:   10 years ago
It's a conditional clause of If I had. I would have type.

If + sub + had + v3 + Ob + sub + would have + v3 + ob.

According to the grammar rule this is right.

Will is used for future tense. Would is used for past tense.

Ganesh said:   1 decade ago
"I had known" indicate that speaker is speaking about past tense and when there is past tense in the sentence we will have to "would" instead of "Will". On similar hand we will have to use "Could " instead of "can".

"Will" talks about the action which will happen in future surely. But "Would" talks about the action which has uncertainty.
