Modal Verbs show us the attitude of the speaker to what is being said or done. The term "modal" means expressing mood and mood is a way to express the attitude of the speaker.

The given sentence starts with " Had you made" which suggest "if you had made" therefore the modal verb in the second part of the sentence must be "would". This is because 'would' is the past form of 'will' and it talks about the hypotheses- things that are imagined rather than true.
Therefore, Option C is correct. 
Whereas option A,B and D are all in present form of the verb. Hence these three options are incorrect.
