what's a subjunctive mood??

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
(B) have been generated if a portion of the capital would have been
(C) be generated if a portion of the capital were
(D) be generated if a portion of the capital was
(E) be generated if a portion of the capital had been

The correct conditionals are:

If were ..., then would/could ....
If had...., then would have ....


IMO - C.
I chose were, i.e, C over D because it is a hypothetical conditional.
