This question was previously asked in
SSC GD 2024 Hindi Question Paper (30-Mar-2024) Shift 1
The correct answer is

rain continues

After 'the', a noun is required as the subject of the if-clause. 'Rained' is a verb form, so the noun 'rain' must be used.

'Rain' is an uncountable singular noun, so it takes the singular verb 'continues'.
'rain were continues' is ungrammatical, and 'rains continues' breaks subject-verb agreement.

Correct sentence: If the rain continues, the river might flood.

Hence, rain continues.
