I find it very difficult to find the right answer. Would you be so kind and help me with this sentence
“ we've got here on time after all“
“yes, but I a)'ve been /b) 'd have been or c) 'd been
In real trouble if you hadn' t been with me.

Thank you for your help

We've got here on time after all.

Yes, but I'd have been in real trouble if you hadn't been with me.

(answer b)

I'd have been.

This is an example of the 3rd conditional

It is used for situations in the past (that didn't happen) and their imaginary results.
