"Even though I wanted to go out tonight, I can't because I have to do my homework."
-I think this one has the nuance of 나가고싶어도, 숙제하야해서 못 나가 or sth like that. Idk if it sounds natural in Korean😆

Other questions about "B"
Q:
I am sorry but I feel like B and C are both correct answer! 😓 so please tell me what the difference?
A:
The right answer is B cause 'has gone' implies that the person went somewhere and is still there, the action hasn't finished. As you can see at the start of the phrase 'James is (still) on holidays.
If the book said James went to Italy and had already returned, that action is finished so you'd say 'he has been to Italy' cause in this case he has gone and returned and you don't know when that action took place in time. Hope this helps :)
