The following sentence is in what tense?

laura had given donations to the local food bank.

1) past
2)past perfect
3)present perfect
4)present

The verb here is "had given"; this is past perfect: it's a perfect tense, because it has a past participle with the -ed ending ("given") and it's the past perfect because  the auxiliary verb is the past form of "have": had.

Ok uhh exactly why is the question here
