Solution

The correct option is D do you want

Answer : C


Present Tense is used:
  • To talk about an action that is happening right now
  • To talk about habitual actions or occurrences
  • To talk about facts

Here in the question, we see that the speaker is offers help and asks what does the other person want him to do in the present moment, therefore the correct tense to use here is Simple Present Tense.

Questions in Simple Present Tense are formulated as : do/does + [subject] + [root form of the verb]

Here the verb is "want" [root form of the verb].

Therefore the correct formulation here is : do + you + want

Thus, the correct complete sentence is:

"I'll help you. What DO YOU WANT me to do?"
