Solution

The correct option is A doesn't go, will miss
The given sentence is a conditional sentence with the conjunction 'if'. All the options which fill the second blank are in the future tense (will miss or won't' miss). This tells us that the first clause (the subordinate clause with the word, 'if') is also in the future tense.
In conditional clauses with the word, 'if', we often use the present tense to express a future action. Let us look at the phrase which fills the first blank. Among the given options:
Option A is in the present tense (does not go);
Option B is in the past tense (did not go);
Option C is in the past tense (went);
Option D is in past perfect tense (had gone).
As only option A is in the present tense, this is the correct answer and the other options are incorrect.
