dare做情态动词没有时态的变化?那么?

原题是“The little girl sat there and ______ say anything.
A.dared not B.didn't dare C.not dared D.nor daring to
我怎么觉得A和B都是对的
dare 作情态动词解时,其否定式为daren't do sth.疑问式为dare sb.do sth.
无过去式.
作实义动词时,需要用助动词构成否定和疑问:doesn't dare (to) do sth.didn't dare (to) do sth.
Does sb.dare (to) do sth.在非肯定的句中常省略不定式符号to.
不过,我在21世纪英汉汉英双向词典中找到例句：
They dared not look me in the face.
牛津英汉双解上讲“罕用或文学语言用过去式dared,否定式：dared not
说明A也是正确的.

只有实义动词才有时态的变化
dare do sth 是情态动词
dare to do sth 是实义动词
