Solution

The correct option is A Could
The correct answer is Option C.
COULD is the past tense of CAN.
CAN means the ability to do something.
In the given sentence the speaker is saying that nobody was able to come the previous day.
The remaining options are incorrect because:
WASN'T ABLE TO is used in case of singular pronoun.
SHOULD expresses duty or obligation.
WERE ABLE TO is not used with NOBODY.
