Solution

The correct option is C Could I come and see the flat?
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.
The sentence requires modal verb which expresses possibility and politeness in asking permission.
Therefore Option C is the correct answers as it expresses possibility.
whereas option A expresses certainty in future actions;
option B expresses the same as option A ; option D expresses lesser possibility. Therefore option A, D and B don't show politeness in the way of asking permission
