Model Answer

The correct option is (D) must.

"After stirring the cocoa into the melted butter, you must add the eggs one at a time before adding the flour."

Explanation

In a recipe, instructions express obligation/necessity — a step that is required to get the correct result. "Must" conveys this strong obligation. "Would" is conditional, "might/may" express possibility, which is inappropriate for a precise recipe instruction.
