In time means that something happened at the last moment before it was too late; before something bad would happen.

A, B and C all seem to have errors. But A is correct as 'not' should be removed from sentence. It's the first error so should be the answer because it simply doesn't make sense.

'We' should be used as the sentence says 'our' belongings and not 'his' belongings.
i.e He would have lost all his belongings' or we would have lost all our belongings.
i.e He would have lost all his belongings' or we would have lost all our belongings.

Since the belonging is "our" so I think i.e. why its "we" not "he"?
