Solution

The correct option is C couldn't/had to
The correct answer is Option B.
COULDN'T means inability to do something. It is used in the past tense. In the given sentence, the speaker was unable to go to the cinema the previous day.
HAD TO is the past tense. Thus Option B is the correct answer.
The remaining options are incorrect because:
Option A: CAN'T is the present tense. MUST expresses compulsion.
Option C: DIDN'T HAVE TO is grammatically incorrect. MAY expresses possibility.
Option D: WASN'T TO is grammatically incorrect. NEED expresses requirement.
Option E: SHOULD expresses obligation. HAVE TO expresses compulsion.
