Explanation
The sentence requires a word that fits grammatically and logically in the expression 'must _ back by six o'clock.' The correct choice is 'be' because 'must be back' is a standard expression indicating an obligation or necessity to return by a specified time. The other options ('can,' 'has,' 'have') do not form correct or meaningful expressions in this context.

About Prepositions
Prepositions link a noun or pronoun to the rest of the sentence, showing place, time, direction or relation. The difficulty is idiomatic rather than logical: English fixes particular prepositions to particular verbs and adjectives, so “good at,” “married to” and “differ from” have to be learned as units rather than reasoned out.
