C Correct answer
Explanation

The error is in part (C). This is a Type 3 conditional sentence (unreal past). When the if-clause uses 'Had he invited' (past perfect), the main clause should use 'would have + past participle' (would have attended), not 'would attend'. The correct sentence should be 'Had he invited me, I would have attended the function.'
