Solution

The correct option is C Couldn't
The correct answer is Option C.
COULDN'T expresses the inability.
In the given sentence, the speak was not able to see the president.
Thus Option C is the correct answer.
The remaining options are incorrect because:
WEREN'T ABLE TO is used for plural subjects.
DON'T HAVE TO is grammatically incorrect.
AM NOT ABLE is the past tense, the sentence is in the past tense.
