0"since the team won, the star player must have played". This suggests that it is not known whether or not the star player did actually play. And, it refers to something that has already happened.02br

00Therefore, I'd be more inclined to say B, because we don't know whether the farmer had a good crop or not. All we know is that he is likely to have a good crop if the frost comes late. "If the frost comes late, the farmer will have a good crop. The frost came late so the farmer must've had a good crop." We don't know whether or not he did, just as we don't know whether or not the star player actually played. 0-
