Solution
The correct option is B missed
Option B "missed" is the correct answer as what he is talking about his wish in the past ("wanted"). His wish of wanting to go home had a cause and a cause is always in the past if its effect is already realized. Therefore, the second clause must use the simple past tense too. The other options are incorrect as he is talking about his wish of the past and why he wished so. Therefore, the cause of the wish cannot be of the present continuous or the future tenses. Option D is incorrect because the correct answer has already been mentioned.
