Hint: A verb is a word or a combination of words that indicates action or a state of being or condition. A verb is the part of a sentence that tells us what the subject performs.

Complete answer:
Option A) Have you seen – is an incorrect answer because ‘have you seen’ is used when we ask a direct question like: Have you seen my keys. And seen is the past participle of the verb see. Thus, this is an incorrect choice in the sentence.

Option B) Did you see – is an incorrect answer because ‘did you see’ is the simple past tense or refers about an event in the past. Thus, the use of ‘did you see’ is an inappropriate answer and makes the sentence wrong. Did you see (you/see) Laura tomorrow? And the sentence in the question is future continuous tense. Thus, this is an incorrect choice in the sentence.

Option C) Will you be seeing – is the correct answer because ‘will you be seeing’ it is formed using the construction will + be + the present participle (the root verb + ing). The simple future tense is a verb tense that is used when an action is expected to occur in the future and be completed. Thus, this is the correct answer.

Option D) Are you seeing – is an incorrect answer because "Seeing" someone means dating them or in a romantic relationship with them. Seeing defines the action of doing something or someone. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.

Hence, the correct answer is Option ‘C’.

Note:The conversation is in future continuous tense, and also referred to as the future progressive tense. Future continuous tense is a verb tense that indicates that something will occur in the future and continue for an expected length of time, here, seeing Laura tomorrow. It is formed using the construction will + be + the present participle (the root verb + -ing). 'Will be seeing' is the future continuous tense of the verb 'to see'. Hence, Option C is correct. The rest of the options do not express this condition.
