Thanks a lot, optilang !!

How about, "How could you be staying at home in this fine day?"

Here, "could" is used, and I guess this should be correct.

And, when someone is giving something so valuable to me, and I think it's too expensive to receive, in that case, I can say, "I couldn't take it."

So, B) I could not be stuck at home in this good weather.........
