Model Answer

The correct answer is D) expect.

The sentence requires the base form after 'will' (modal verb), so "will… expect" is correct.

Explanation

After a modal verb ('will'), the main verb must always be in the bare infinitive (base form). Options A, B, and C are grammatically incorrect forms in this context.
