I dont agree with answer here. Though sheetal answer seems more logical..gramatically we will write explanation here as "that he had been involved in the cruel murder of his wife."

According to the tense of sentence, we must use the past perfect, that is because the murder had happend before he denied the clues of the enrolment in the crime.

"It should be he had a hand in". It's an idiom.
Having a hand in and involvement is the same thing. Why are we replacing the word?

If hand in should be used means, it should be followed by 'with'.
That he had hand in with the cruel murder of his wife.
That he had hand in with the cruel murder of his wife.

No way the answer is correct. The word stoutly stands wrong. Answer "A".
Stout means a short fatty person.

Can't it be "that he had involvement in the cruel murder of his wife."? Any suggestions?

Doesn't the both sentence mean the same? he had hand is nothing but he had involved isn't it?

I guess, Either it should be, "he had a hand. " or "he was involved. ".
