«El testigo afirmó que el sospechoso _____ una chaqueta oscura».

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: D. llevaba

Analysis: Reported speech with affirmative declarative verbs ('afirmar') in the past takes the imperfect indicative ('llevaba') to describe simultaneous state. Answer: llevaba. Why not the others: 'lleve' is present subjunctive; 'llevara' is imperfect subjunctive; 'llevaría' is conditional.
