In English one way to ask which option is the right one is by using whether:
Could you tell me, whether you are a student, teacher or visitor?
How would this be realized in Chinese?

here is how the version in above comment was generated：feeding ＂Could you tell me, whether you are a student, teacher or visitor ?＂ to iciba翻译 which has become baidu翻译 results in 你能告诉我，不管你是学生，老师或访客？Of course users immediately recognize that there should be no 不管 （which might correspond to ＂whether you are 。。。 （just） tell me＂），some reading experience also would suggest 还是 instead of 或。– user6065Commented Mar 19, 2015 at 1:17

I am just wondering if a 是否 would fit in there: 你能告诉我是否你是学生、老师或者访客？[waiting for a native speaker's point of view]– Enrico BrasilCommented Mar 19, 2015 at 12:17

see iciba， 是否 whether （or not，yes or no）is followed by just one option，– user6065Commented Mar 19, 2015 at 12:49

请问，您是学生，老师，还是来参观的？
请问 = May I ask
In general, the answer would be "A，B还是C？"
