Solution
The correct option is A is ill Since the sentence is in the simple present tense, option A, 'is ill' is the correct answer. Also, the adjective 'ill' correctly modifies the pronoun 'he'.
Option B is grammatically incorrect because in the phrase 'he have illness', the pronoun 'he' should be followed by the verb 'has'.
Options C and D are incorrect because they are not in the simple present tense form.
