'May' will be the answer:

The question will be prefaced by:

May I have your pen, please?

The main difference between the verbs ‘may’ and ‘can’ is that one is used in a more polite situation than the other. In informal contexts, it’s perfectly acceptable to use can while it is better to use ‘May’ in formal situations. There are also situations where can and may cannot be interchanged as ‘can’ will also mean the ability of a person or object whereas, may also refer to the possibility of a situation. For example: ‘Can I pick up this book’ and ‘May I book up this book, ‘may’ is better in this context as it is clear that it is asking for permission while ‘can’ might also refer to the ability of the person to pick up the book.
