Out of the given sentences, the only correct sentence is 4.

The sentence uses 'had' as a conditional conjunction, which means 'if'. e.g. Had I been brave, I would have fought in the war.

None of the other sentences are grammatically sound.

Option 1 uses the negative form 'hadn't', which is not an appropriate conjunction. Options 2 and 5 use 'even though' and 'although', which change the meaning of the sentence and hence are incorrect.

Option 3 uses the passive form 'had been won', which cannot make the sentence grammatically correct. 

Therefore, the correct answer is option 4.
