Could.
A & C only work in present tense, which "asked" is not.
P.S. "if my answers ARE correct"--never use future in a subordinate clause.

an quite thrilling question! I posed a matching question a while in the past and no person at that factor ought to supply a reasonable answer. "Gluton" has come as close as this is a threat to return. It has continually surprised me why they include the religion that replaced into the religion of their slave masters and investors while for 1000's of years previous, they depended on their own theory structures. i'm additionally an Atheist.

Could....
Don't worry about the language barriors, some americans aren't even that good at english...
Reloh keens right, there are some rude people, although if you really wanna test it, ALL LANGUAGES ARE INVENTED!!!
The basis of ALL languages derives from latin, why do you think there are so many similarities in different languages.
And Carbon Kid, if any one gives you Sh*t, just tell them it's known that English is one of the hardest lanuages to learn.

In this case "could" is the correct answer. Could, in this sentence. asks if it was possible for her to wait. Would is a possibility, although not an option, but it "would" could change the nuance of the sentence.

"Hi Americans"!
Do you know where English originates? Take a wild guess.
Could is the correct answer.
