Had, would
The question asks to identify the correct pair of auxiliary verbs for a conditional sentence structure implied by the given clauses.
The sentence fragment discusses hypothetical situations. The phrase "I wouldn't have had any problem" strongly suggests a past unreal conditional (third conditional) or a related structure. We need to find the correct auxiliary pair to complete such a structure.
The options provide pairs of auxiliary verbs. The correct answer is specified as 'Had, would'. Let's analyze how this pair functions in conditional sentences.
The pair $Had, would$ perfectly fits the structure of an inverted mixed conditional sentence.
For example: "Had I studied diligently, I would have a better job now." (Note: The example here slightly deviates to illustrate the typical 'would' usage in the result clause of a mixed conditional). The pair 'Had, would' signifies this specific grammatical construction.
Based on standard English grammar rules for conditional sentences, specifically the inverted mixed conditional, the auxiliary pair $Had, would$ is the correct choice for constructing hypothetical past conditions with present/future results.
