Answer 1

Hint: The future tense is a verb form that generally marks the event described by the verb as not having happened yet, but expected to happen in the future.
Example: He will go home tomorrow. He is expected to go home tomorrow. So this is in future tense.

Complete step by step answer:
A. I’ve lend you some. - Here “ Have lend” is not the correct form of the present perfect tense. This tense refers to an action that occurred at an indefinite time in the past. Hence this is not the correct option.
B. I’m lending you some.- This refers to a continuous aspect and does not express the condition which will begin and end in the future Hence this is not the correct option.( in present continuous).
C. I’ve been lending you some. –It’s applicable when an event started in the past and is continuing at the present. This is not grammatically correct as per rule, Hence this is not the correct option.
D. I’ll lend you some.- This is in simple future tense. In the question one person needs money, the other person wants to know about his need so that he can give some. The giving action is expected to occur in future. Hence this is the correct option.

Hence, The right option is D .

Note:
The simple future is a verb tense that’s used to talk about things that haven’t happened yet, here, lending money. We use the simple future to talk about an action or condition that will begin and end in the future. The syntax for the simple future is will + [root form of verb], that is, will lend, or, I'll lend. In the given statements the person can give money after knowing his need so the verb is in future tense.
