D
Correct answer
Explanation
The sentence has two past actions: 'had completed' (past perfect) and the blank. Past perfect is used for the earlier action, and simple past is used for the later action. Since completing the work happened before the father came, 'had completed' is already correct for the first action. The father's action came after, so it uses simple past 'came'.

The phrase 'as though' introduces a hypothetical or contrary-to-fact situation, which requires the subjunctive mood. For statements that are clearly contrary to reality (like someone being angry when they're not), we use 'were' instead of 'was'. This is the subjunctive form of 'to be' used in hypothetical situations after 'as though' or 'as if'.

This is a first conditional sentence expressing a real possibility. When the if-clause uses present tense (or any form implying a real condition), the result clause uses 'will'. Here, 'You will succeed' is the result, so the if-clause should use present simple 'work' (not 'worked' or 'had worked'). First conditionals follow the pattern: If + present simple, ... will + base verb.
