Solution

The correct option is C would
Modal verbs show us the mood, that is, a way to express the attitude of the speaker to what is being said.
Option C is correct because "if only" is used with "would" to say how we would like somebody to behave in the future. Whereas, modals in option A, B and C do not facilitates the future action.
