Answer : B

Subordinating Conjugation : It is a word or phrase used to link a dependent clause to an independent clause.

It is used to:

• show a cause-and-effect relationship between the dependent & subordinate (independent clause)
• to show a relationship involving a transition of time or place between two clause

Let's take a look at the usage of the subordinating conjugations in the options in relation to time:

• if : It is not used to show a relationship of time but is used to introduce a conditional clause; It is used to express a condition that is necessary in order for something to happen; basically to introduce a conditional clause
• before : It is used to express that one event precedes another
• while : It is used to express an action in progress; sometimes this action is interrupted
• until : It is used to express the time when an event or action comes to an end

Here in the question, we understand that the speaker is telling the other person to provide him/her the address prior to going home.

Therefore from among the options, 'before' is the most suitable subordinating conjugation to complete the sentence.

Thus, the correct complete sentence is:

Give me your address BEFORE you go home.
