Solution
The correct option is B Could
Option D is the correct answer because could is a conditional verb that expresses possibility, and it makes a statement of ability, could is also used to make polite requests as in this case.Option A is incorrect because although we can use 'will', it denotes certainty of an event, which means the person is telling him to stop talking, which doesn't denote a request being made, so it is wrong.Option B and C are incorrect because they imply as a fact that a certain task needs to be done, which is not true here, because it is a question, in fact a request.
