I feel like "should" is more of a suggestion, so it can't be the right answer.

I remember practicing a question where "best endeavours" was discussed, but that doesn’t seem like it would be absolute.

I think "shall" indicates an absolute obligation, but I’m not entirely sure if there are exceptions.
