Solution

The correct option is B when
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:

  • while : It is used to express an action in progress; sometimes this action might be interrupted
  • when : It is used to refer to a particular time; at or during the time that; also it is used to show that one event happens slightly after another
  • until : It is used to express the time when an event or action comes to an end
  • if : It is not used to show a relationship of time but is used to introduce a conditional clause

Here in the question, we understand that the speaker is expressing the first person will call the second person upon his/her arrival to London. Thus, first he would arrive at London & then would ring the other person. Thus this shows two events occurring with a slight time difference.

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

Thus, the correct complete sentence is:

I'll ring you WHEN I arrive.
