Solution

The correct option is A The dress was so old that it could not be worn.
Those sentences which have too...to can be changed using so...that to convey the same idea. Past participle tense is used after 'that' clause.
It can be changed as 'The dress was so old that it could not be worn. 'Worn' is a past participle.
Thus, according to the rules, option A is the correct answer.
