Sorry to say, both answers above are wrong! The correct answer is A:
"It's high time the girl WERE sent to school."
D, "The girl is to be sent to school," means something like: there are plans to send the girl to school.
B, In a Past Subjunctive construction, one should use 'were', instead of 'was'. Although you will see "It's high time the girl was sent to school" a lot in daily life.
Answer 'C' can be correct too:
"Isn't it time the girl BE sent to school?"

the answer is definitely 'was'
Not sure why - perhaps this construction needs it because you are describing something that should already have happened, ie, she should have been sent to school.
