About modal verbs and their usage:

• Modal verbs are supporting verbs that come along with the main verb. (Eg): can, could, may, might, will, shall, should, would etc.,
• Modal verbs are also called Auxiliary verbs.
• The main verb given in the sentence is 'tell'. We have to choose the most appropriate modal verb here.
• Option a) 'shall' is wrong because it is used along with first person -singular (I) and plural (we).
• Option c) 'ought' always takes 'to' along with it. But here it is not given. So it is wrong.
• Option b) 'will' is the correct modal because it can indicate a habit that will continue in the future too.
• Option d) is not applicable as option b) is right.
