Solution

The correct option is C Switch off your phone.
Option B is correct. The sentence is a command that leaves no room for discussion and is directed at an unknown subject "you".
Options A is incorrect. While it is in the imperative mood, it does not express a command, but a request (Please).
Options C and D are incorrect as they are not commands. Nor are they in the imperative mood. They are just statements.
