Which sentence correctly uses the present simple tense, rather than ‘will,’ within a time clause referring to the future?

Explanation

In English, time clauses introduced by words like ‘when,’ ‘until,’ ‘before,’ ‘after,’ and ‘as soon as’ use the present simple tense to refer to future time, even though the overall sentence describes a future event, giving ‘I will call you when I arrive.’ Using ‘will’ within the time clause itself, as in ‘when I will arrive,’ is a common and frequently tested error.
