Solution
The correct option is A Can be Modal Verbs show us the attitude of the speaker to what is being said or done. The term "modal" means expressing mood and mood is a way to express the attitude of the speaker.
Option B is correct because it shows an ability of a machine.
Whereas option A expresses certainty and not the ability; option C expresses lesser certainty of turning the machine on in future; and option D expresses an act of duty.
