The answer is 'b) could.'
He could not help laughing.
- In the given exercise, we need to select the correct modal verb from the given options.
- 'Could' is used to state the ability of a person in the past. He could not stop laughing when the incident took place in the past. Thus, 'could' is used.
- 'Can' refers to a situation in the present. Thus, it will not be the answer.
- 'May' does not follow the format of the sentence.
- 'Should' refers to obligations. The sentence speaks about the capability, not the obligation. Thus, it is also not the answer.
