Solution

The correct option is D have finished
Option D: 'Have finished' expresses the present perfect tense and indicates an action that has just been completed. It applies to the given sentence, where the speaker tells the listener that they are allowed to go if they have completed their work for that day. Hence D is correct.
Option A: 'Are finishing' indicates a continuous action in the present tense. It does not apply here because the person can only go home once they've completed the action (finished the work).
Option B: 'Finished' refers to a past event, whereas the sentence is set in the present.
Option C: 'Will finish' indicates an action that is yet to happen, but the given sentence is set in the present.
Hence options A, B and C are incorrect.
