d. indicative mood
please explain
The sentence is in the indicative mood because it is stating a fact or making a statement. It is not asking a question (interrogative mood), giving a command or request (imperative mood), or expressing a wish, possibility, or uncertainty (subjunctive mood). In this case, the sentence is simply stating that if someone were a member of Generation X, they would know the answer to the question about Madonna.
