Answer 1

Hint:Tense is a category that expresses time reference. Tenses are usually manifested by the use of specific forms of verbs. The main tenses are: past, present and future.

Complete answer:
The tense used is Future Continuous tense. Rule for this tense used is will + be + V-ing (present participle). Example: I will be singing in the concert tomorrow. This tense is used to indicate actions that will take place at a specific time in the future. It is also used to indicate predictions about the present.
Option A) Was – This is not the correct option because it is not following the tense rule of future continuous. Hence it is an incorrect option.
Option B) Will be – This is not the correct option because it is in a form of future tense and will not make the tense of the sentence inconsistent. Thus, it is the correct answer.
Option C) Have been – This is not the correct option because ' is in the present perfect continuous tense and not the future tense. Thus, using it will make the tense of the sentence inconsistent.
Option D) Been - This is not the correct option because it is not following the tense rule of future continuous. Hence it is an incorrect option.
The right answer to this is option (B) Will be

Hence the correct answer is option ‘B’.

Note: It is important to remember that future tense functions with time expressions. The structure of future continuous tense is; Subject+ will+ be+ ing form of the verb + object.
