Solution
The correct option is B May Here, the shopkeeper is asking for permission to be able to help the subject. The correct modal verb used for taking permission politely is option C) May.
'Can' is used to show ability, so it is incorrect here. 'Could' is used to express past ability or a possibility, while 'Might' is used to express slight possibility.
