Explanation:

This is an inverted third conditional sentence. The structure for the third conditional is 'If + subject + had + past participle, subject + would have + past participle'. The inverted form 'Had + subject + past participle' replaces the 'If' clause. Therefore, the main clause requires 'would have + past participle', which is 'would have seen'.
