- Cmay I be turning on the lights ?”
- Dcan I turn on the lights ?”
Explanation
The context "It is getting dark" implies a question about whether the lights need to be turned on. "Must I turn on the lights?" asks about necessity and fits the context. "Shall I turn on" offers to do it (slightly different sense), while "should the lights be on" and "shouldn't the lights be on" are awkward and less natural formulations. Hence option A.
