«El sospechoso negó tajantemente que _____ participado en el atraco al banco».

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: B. hubiera

Analysis: Verbs of denial ('negar que') in past contexts govern the pluperfect subjunctive ('hubiera participado'). Answer: hubiera. Why not the others: 'había participado' is indicative; 'ha participado' is present perfect; 'habrá participado' is future perfect.
