D Correct answer
Explanation

'Had to remain' is correct because it expresses past necessity or obligation - he was required to stay in the hospital for three days. 'Has remained' suggests he is still there, 'remained' doesn't convey obligation, and 'has to remain' is for present requirement. The hospital stay was a completed past necessity.
