Dear Jay, My evaluation is that the answer you quoted is wrong. "ought to" is possible but not "ought" alone. The only option which works is D.

There are a number of natural choices:
1. must
2. have to
3. have got to
4. had better
"ought to" does not have the same degree of urgency as the 4 options above.
