A

Future perfect (will have + past participle) is primarily used to describe an action that will be in progress at a specific moment in the future, without considering its completion.


B

In first conditional sentences, "will" is required in the "if-clause" to indicate that the condition being discussed is a logical certainty that the speaker fully endorses in formal English grammar rules.


C
