if he had been younger, he would accept it. (mine as well)
or
if he was younger, he would accept it. (bookish)

He thought that if he had been younger, he would have accepted it. ( correct)
Because whole tense is past HE THOUGHT.
If it was as HE THINKS...., the CORRECT ANSWER WILL BE as:
He thinks that if he were younger, he would accept it.
