The sentence contains an error in the past tense structure. The correct form should be “did you not throw” because the past tense of “throw” is “threw.”
Option B, “had you not threw,” is not the correct answer because it uses the wrong past tense form “had you not threw.” The correct past tense form is “had you not thrown.”
