C Correct answer
Explanation

The past tense 'did not buy' correctly matches the narrative tense. The story describes today's events at the market, and the final clause explains why no bananas were purchased. Past tense is consistent with 'went,' 'bought,' and 'was/were.' 'Does not buy' is present, 'do not buy' is present with wrong subject, and 'will not buy' is future.
