Detailed Solution

We are given two sentences here. the primary sentence describes the speaker’s excitement in meeting Tim after a very long time. The sentence is written within the simple past tense. this means that the following sentence which states that Tim and the speaker hadn’t met for a long time should be in the past perfect tense.

By using past perfect tense , we understand which event went on first in its order. Therefore, among the given options, option c becomes the proper answer.

Option a is wrong because it is in the present perfect tense.

Similarly, in option b, don’t is within the simple present tense. As mentioned before, the given action is in past, and thus it becomes incorrect.

In option d ‘won’t – will not’ is given. As against the given past situation, the longer term tense is mentioned here, which is wrong.
