The correct answer is A. He did not show up and so the occasion lacked much fun

If he were here, it could be more fun

This statement was referring to a third singular person. This means that, the event was fun. But the fun could have been more if that person was present.

''It could'' as used in the statement is a probability. There is no assurance that the presence of that particular person would bring more fun. 

Option A is the correct option. 

He did not show up and so the occasion lacked much fun

 Meaning there was fun, but it wasn't much fun because he wasn't present.
