Yes, you are correct! Sentence B) "After it was sold, I had owned the camera shop for 12 years" uses the past perfect verb tense. The past perfect tense is formed by using the auxiliary verb "had" followed by the past participle of the main verb. In this case, the main verb "own" is in the past participle form "owned." The past perfect tense is used to describe an action that happened before another action in the past. In sentence B, the action of owning the camera shop (past perfect) happened before the action of it being sold (past simple).
