B Correct answer
Explanation

The phrase 'realized that had' is missing the subject 'they' after 'that'. In reported speech and subordinate clauses, the subject must be explicitly stated. The correct construction is 'realized that they had' or simply 'realized they had'. The other options are grammatically sound.
