a. same
b.in which great ice sheets existed in what are now temperate areas.
c. when great ice sheets existed where there were areas now temperate
d. when great ice sheets had existed in current temperate areas

The correct answer is B. I chose A. However, looking back I can see that my answer was redundant. BUt as far as the verb tense I am very confused still. I know that in past perfect - if the does not exist anymore and interrupted by something else in past is indeed past perfect. THis requires HAD. HOw did I mess up on the verb tense?
