This example illustrates an imaginary situation; it did not happen. What truly happened was that the woman got up late and missed the bus. This was the fact. The structure is : the condition introduced by "if" carries the Past Perfect and the imaginary result carries would + perfect infinitive.
<u>Conditions under which a situation might occur, </u>the mood is the conditional: second type. Example: If she <u>bought</u> an alarm clock, she <u>would get up</u> on time.

What would the result be? She <u>would get up</u> on time. This is the conditional mood , second type.

The answer is D because it is the only answer choice that actually points out Hector's attitude as being a sunshine that overcomes the dreariness in others' moods.
