Solution
The correct option is D Tries
Because of the presence of the word 'if' we can identify this sentence as a first conditional sentence which is used to express a situation in which the outcome is likely (but not guaranteed) to happen in the future on a condition. It is important to remember that we use the simple present tense in the if-clause and simple future tense in the main clause—that is, the clause that expresses the likely outcome.Hence option B is the correct answer because it is in the present tense and is the correct form of the verb to use with the third person singular pronoun (she).Option A is incorrect because 'try', the base form of the verb, cannot be used with a third person singular pronoun.Options C and D are incorrect because they are not in the present tense as is required.
