Choose the answer which best rewords the italicized portion. If you think the original wording is best, choose option A.

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has offered a loan to the government during the transition period. However, the IMF released a statement in April 2012 stating that it would withhold the loan because of concerns of instability.

has offered
have offered
offers
offered

Explanation

Answer: D - The best choice is “offered”

“Has offered” and “have offered” indicate the present perfect tense - an action in the past that continues into the present. Since the IMF stated that it was withholding the loan, it is not currently offering the loan. “Offers” is a present tense form of “offer.” The past tense form of the verb, “offered,” fits best within the context of the sentence.
