The selected option is incorrect because using the verb 'can' and 'be able' at the same time is a tautology.
It's either you say: ' he cannot find me a job' or you say: 'he is not able to find me a job' (which is C).
Thank you.

Note: you can't use "can" and "be able" together.
So the answer should be "he could not find me a job".

the answer is c
"can" doesnt preced "able to" in a sentence whether in negative form or positve form

A principle known as VERB SEQUENCE states that the tense in clause A determines the tense in clause B.
So correct option is C

I disagree with the answer given to my question,, please I need full substantial answer.

Yes nah... ABI which one is"is not able to find me a job"that's tautology menh🤦🏻♂️
