Solution
The correct option is D Would 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 D is the correct answer because it expresses the mood of unsure certainty of what one intends to do.
Whereas option A suggests duty that is to be done; option B suggests ability; and option D expresses strong assurance that is to be done with certainty.
