Solution

The correct answer is E. "must have left". This is because the sentence is talking about a past event (Fred leaving his wallet on the table last night) that is certain. "Must have" is used to express a strong belief about a past event. The other options do not fit because they express different degrees of certainty or are used for giving advice or making recommendations, not stating past facts.
