C Correct answer
Explanation

This is a mixed conditional sentence combining a present condition with a present result. The 'if' clause uses past tense ('had' in option A), but the main clause is about present ability ('can't'), so the present simple 'have to ask' in option C is grammatically correct for the main clause.
