They _ the report by 5 PM.
Correct answer: C. Will have submitted
- A. Will submit
- B. Will be submitting
- C. Will have submitted
- D. Submitted
Explanation
The correct answer is Option C: will have submitted. This tense is used to express an action that will be completed before a specific point in the future, in this case, 'by 5 PM.' The other options are incorrect because they don't accurately express the completion of an action by a future deadline. 'Will submit' suggests future action but lacks the completion aspect by a deadline. 'Will be submitting' implies an ongoing action at a future time without completion, and 'submitted' refers to a past action, not applicable to a future deadline.
