Answered by Writeacher
It looks as if you need to study verb tenses, too.

D is incorrect.
Answered by Rochelle
So is it "future"?
Answered by Writeacher
Yes.

Future perfect is "will have" but future is only "will" (or sometimes "won't").

In fact, all the perfect tenses have some form of "have" in them: have, has, or had.
