Solution
The correct option is C What shall I gift Ann for her birthday? The simple future is a verb tense that’s used to talk about things that haven’t happened yet, here, gifting Ann a present. We use the simple future to talk about an action or condition that will begin and end in the future. The formula for the simple future is shall/will + [root form of verb], that is, shall gift. Hence, Option C is correct.
The rest of the options do not express this condition.
Option A does not ask for advice, but asks to be told what to gift. The situation calls for advice, and 'shall' expresses it.
Option B states an action already happened and D states a continuous action in the present.
