B Correct answer
Explanation

In the teacher's response, blank (iii) follows 'You (ii) would come to me immediately after the morning assembly and (iii) ________ any problem with me.' The parallel structure suggests a base form verb. 'Discuss' is correct - 'may come... and discuss'. 'Can discuss', 'may discuss', and 'will discuss' would create modal conflicts.
