Just follow the pattern for creating a contrapositive:

Take the opposite of the conclusion and make that the new premise. The original conclusion is "I will have nothing clean to wear" The opposite of that is "I have something clean to wear" and now the premise of the contrapositive is:

If I have something clean to wear.

Take the opposite of the original premise and make that the new conclusion. The original premise: "If I do not wash my clothes..." The opposite: "I washed my clothes."

So the entire contrapositive becomes:

If I have something clean to wear, then I washed my clothes.

Choice d.
