Art museums do not usually think of their collections as capital or consider the interest income that would be generated if a portion of the capital would have been invested in another form.
(A) be generated if a portion of the capital would have been
would is never used in if clause, it is rather used in then clause.
OUT
(B) have been generated if a portion of the capital would have been
would is never used in if clause, it is rather used in then clause.
OUT
(C) be generated if a portion of the capital were - Correct
(D) be generated if a portion of the capital was
were is more suitable than was in if clause because of subjunctive mood.
OUT
(E) be generated if a portion of the capital had been
Past perfect is incorrect here..as it is used when we have two tenses in past.
