A Correct answer
Explanation

In type 3 conditional sentences, the if clause uses the past perfect (had + V3) and the main clause uses the perfect conditional (would have + V3).

In passive voice, past perfect is changed to 'had + been + V3 (pushed)' and perfect conditional is changed to 'would have + been + V3 (allowed)'.
