Answer

A

【解析】

考查情态动词及固定短语。句意：你为什么不告诉我今天没有会议呢？我本不必要冒着大雪一路开车来这里的。分析句意，此处考查对过去的猜测，可用情态动词+have done表示。needn’t have done 译为“本不必要做却…”; couldn’t have done 译为“过去不可能做”。mustn’t have done格式不对，应为must have done 译为“过于一定做了某事”。根据前面的“抱怨”可知，我本不必要冒雪前来的。故needn’t have done 合理。through the heavy snow 译为“冒着大雪”是固定短语。through 表示从物体的内部“穿过”。综合分析，故选A项。
