An inverted sentence happens when we reverse (invert) the normal word order of a sentence structure.
Option A is incorrect: The sentence has the normal word order, subject + verb  + object.
Option B is correct: 
The sentence has the altered word order- Adverb + auxiliary verb (would) + subject (we) + main verb (understand) + object + clause.
Option C is incorrect: The inverted word order is not followed here. Because the subject is used before the verb.
Option D is incorrect: It's irrelevant.
