Solution

The correct option is B Could
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 the correct answer because it contains politeness in asking permission with an uncertain possibility.
Whereas, option A doesn't show any politeness in asking permission, option C is used generally with "I"; option D doesn't help in framing up a question.
