English Conditional Sentences

Choose the correct sentence.

A If the company reduced its prices, more customers would buy the product.

B If the company reduces its prices, more customers would buy the product.

C If the company reduced its prices, more customers will buy the product.

D If the company would reduce its prices, more customers would buy the product.

This describes a hypothetical, unlikely scenario, so the if-clause stays in past simple ("reduced") and the main clause uses "would buy."

If the situation described is unlikely or imaginary, the if-clause should use past simple, not present.
