Detailed Solution

Concept- Did you have an umbrella.
The sentence is in the past tense since the action seems to have already been completed.
The first option ‘have you had’ is in the present perfect tense and hence is not applicable here. The second option ‘did you have’ is in the past tense and seems to be perfect for this question. The third option ‘will you have’ is in the future tense and hence does not go with our sentence since the action has already been completed in the past. The fourth option ‘were you having’ is in the past continuous tense whereas the given sentence is in simple past tense. Hence, the correct answer is the second option, ‘did you have’.
