Solution

The correct option is A May
The correct answer is Option A.
MAY expresses possibility.
In the given sentence, the speaker is stating the possibility of not having the time to phone in the evening.
Thus MAY is the correct answer.
The remaining options are incorrect because:
MUST expresses compulsion.
WOULD is the past tense of will.
DIDN'T is the past tense, whereas the sentence is talking about future probability.
