Solution

The correct option is D Must not be
The correct answer is Option D.
MUST NOT BE is used to state the certainty of non-existence or impossibility of something. In the given sentence, the person is definitely not hungry because he isn't eating his food.
Thus Option D is the correct answer.
The remaining options are incorrect because:
SHOULD BE expresses obligation.
NEEDN'T HAVE BEEN expresses the non-requirement of something.
MIGHT NOT HAVE BEEN expresses the improbability of something.
