Solution

The correct answer is C. "didn't rain"

Here's why:

The sentence is a conditional sentence, specifically a second conditional, which is used to talk about hypothetical or unreal situations in the present or future. In second conditionals, the verb in the "if" clause is in the simple past tense.

In English, when we want to make a negative statement in the past tense, we use "did not" or the contraction "didn't" before the base form of the main verb. So, "If it didn't rain" is the correct form.

The other options are incorrect because they use different tenses or forms. "If it does not rain" is present tense, "If it hasn't rained" is present perfect tense, and "If it will not rain" is future tense.
