the answer is correct...the sentence says "he is really very mean.he ........ not lend me the money i wanted.it simply means that he could lend me money but he would not lend me "the" money i "wanted".take note of the and wanted..it's jst like asking ur friend 2 lend u money and he/she agreed but he/she doesnt want to lend the exact amount of money u want..here,he/she could lend u money but would not lend u the money u wanted..i hope it's clear now
The selected answer is wrong:
could not is for something that has passed while would not is for something that has not happened
REF: check Everyday English Guide.page 14.the 8th sentence.
