Read the sentence.We _______ find a new mascot since the Rabbit doesn’t make sense anymore without a winning track team.

“Must” expresses a strong need or obligation. The sentence gives a reason—the Rabbit no longer makes sense without a winning track team—so “We must find a new mascot” fits best. “May” suggests possibility or permission, while “can” and “could” express ability or possibility rather than necessity.
