C. before I had arrived
Explanationव्याख्या
When the sequence of two past actions is clear through “before,” it is generally sufficient to use Past Perfect for the earlier action and Simple Past for the later action.
Correct sentence: He had finished the work before I arrived.
“Before” से actions का क्रम स्पष्ट है। पहले action के लिए Past Perfect और बाद वाले action के लिए Simple Past का प्रयोग उचित है। इसलिए “had arrived” के स्थान पर “arrived” होगा।
