Solution

The correct option is A What time shall I phone you?
The simple future is a verb tense that’s used to talk about things that haven’t happened yet, here, phoning a friend. 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 in uncertainty for first person is shall + (Subject 'I' +) [root form of verb], that is, shall phone. Hence, Option A is correct.

The rest of the options do not express this condition.
Options B and C ask about past actions.
Option D asks about the present, but it does not ask for advice. 'Shall' asks for advice.
Hence these options are incorrect.
