Q: Choose the sentence have the same meaning: . I remember giving you a five-pound note. A. Whether I gave you a five-pound note or not, I can remember. B. I can't remember whether I gave you a five-pound note or not. C. I did gave you a five-pound note, and I could remember it. D. I remember I have given you a five-pound note.
I choose D, but the correction is D. I don't know why. The model sentence use present tense, why the answer use past tense?

There is still something wrong. Sentence C is not English. "Did gave" is wrong, and even after that is corrected to "did give", the conditional "could" is strange where it is, and "it" has an indeterminate antecedent. I would expect maybe "I did give you a five-pound note, and I can remember doing it." Sentence D uses the present perfect with "remember", which does not work.
