Explanation

The usage of verb 'hoped' (past of hope) clearifies that the modal should also be in the past form. Among the options, only 'would' and 'might' can be used for past. But 'would' is used in case of past perfect tense, whereas this sentence is in past indefinite. Thus, 'might' is the answer.
