Explanation:

The most appropriate option for the phrase replacement is option (a).’If a person had studied’ will be used instead of ‘If a person studied’ because in order to portray the past of unreal situation , the structure is ‘If + S + had + V3,S + would + have + V3’ .For example , If you had played well , you would have won the match.
