- D. When I arrive, I will call you.
Answer
D. When I arrive, I will call you.
Step-by-step solution
In time clauses introduced by conjunctions such as 'when', 'as soon as', 'before', and 'after', the simple present tense is used to express a future action. The main clause uses the simple future tense. Therefore, the time clause should be 'When I arrive' and the main clause should be 'I will call you'. The correct sentence is 'When I arrive, I will call you.' Answer: When I arrive, I will call you.
