what I am trying to say is this:
1)Yes you can use would + v1 as the past of “will”:
She said she would be there at night.

2)But you can also use would + v1 for the actions which were repeated in the past:
When he was young, he would always do his homework.

3)Yes obviously the answer is D correct.But so is the answer A.And if you ask me since the emphasis in this sentence is on the repetition of the act ( he used the words throughout his life time not just once) answer A sounds better.Because D sounds like as if he used these words only for one occasion.
