AShe is going to call you, but she forgot.
BShe will call you, but she forgot.
CShe was going to call you, but she forgot.

Explanation

The ‘future in the past’ structure, formed with ‘was/were going to,’ describes a plan or intention that existed at some point in the past, regardless of whether it was ultimately carried out, as in ‘She was going to call you, but she forgot.’ This structure is commonly used to describe past intentions that were later changed, delayed, or abandoned.
