Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation:
In this type of sentence, which describes a future event with a condition, we use the present simple tense (not future tense) in the if-clause (or the conditional part).
The correct structure is:
"When Simon comes back tonight, he’ll do the washing up."
This is because "when" indicates a future event that is certain to happen, and the present simple tense is used to express this future certainty.
