Solution
The correct option is C doesn't work
The given sentence is a Type 1 conditional, because it presents a possible condition (if-clause) and its probable result.In such sentences, the if-clause is in simple present tense and the main clause is in the simple future tense ('we won't be able to see the movie').Option A: 'Doesn't work' is in the simple present tense. It completes the sentence in meaning as well as agrees with the Type 1 structure. Hence option A is correct.Option B: 'Worked' is in the past tense. It isn't used in the first conditional.Options C and D: Similarly, 'didn't work' refers to the past tense. 'Wasn't work' in this context is grammatically incorrect (as 'work' should be replaced with the participle 'working' to form a past continuous tense).Hence options B, C and D are incorrect.
