Solution

The correct option is D couldn't
The correct answer is Option D.
COULDN'T means the inability to do something. In the given sentence, the speaker was ill, thus was not able to go to school.
The sentence is in the past tense. Thus COULDN'T is the correct answer.
The remaining options are incorrect because:
CAN'T is the present tense.
MUST expresses compulsion.
COULD and CAN mean the ability to do something.
