Solution
The correct option is C wasn't
The simple past (also called past simple or past indefinite) is a verb tense which is used to show that a completed action took place at a specific time in the past. We use the simple past to express the idea that an action finished at a specific time in the past, here, the action of not being at home. The simple past is formed using the verb + ed. In addition, there are many verbs with irregular past forms. Questions are made with did and negative forms are made with did not. Hence, Option C is correct.The rest of the options do not express this condition. They either mention actions that have just happened in the present (options B and D) or actions that are still true in the present (option A).Hence these options are incorrect.
